live in concert – The Verve Pipe
We parked in our usual parking spot at Union Station, went to the bookstore and then walked up to XM to see The Verve Pipe in the Rumpus Room. The sidewalks were mostly clear, so the walk was actually quite pleasant. As we got to XM, Kenny came out the front door, so we stopped
national zoo and the singing zoologist
sunday morning, we headed to the metro station near here and jumped on a train into DC. The girls are old pros and slapping their metro cards on the gates, staying to the right and all the rest. As usual, we took the train to Cleveland Park instead of the zoo stop, because the walk

when planning our trip to DC, we kept in mind the snow. the piles, the mounds, the mountains of snow that might remain from “Snowpocalypse 2010”. As I feared parking in DC might be tight given that all the spaces would be occupied by snow, I chose to stay out in Fairfax again. In the
live in concert – rocknoceros
We sped our way up I-95 and then across on the ever so fun 123 from Lorton to Vienna to get to Jammin’ Java for tonight’s Rocknoceros Happy Hour! Chloe took a bit of a nap in the car and was slow to wake, but when PINK! started, she was full of bounce. Though even

snow in Pine Lake
we spent much of the day yesterday waiting. anticipating. and then finally, it came. and dumped a whole lot of snow very fast. the girls and i headed out as the accumulation grew. heavy, heavy snow — great for snowballs! We had a snowball throwing contest. As we tossed snowballs into the lake, a curious
rudeness
this week, i’ve been thinking about rudeness within the context of social networking. i am befuddled by rude comments made by strangers on sites such as youtube and blogs. as an “author”, i suppose I should expect that not everyone will love what i produce and publish online. that’s fine. i can accept that. but
