Been busy this week so i didn't get a chance to write about my neighbors fire.  It started on his back balcony about 6 PM on Easter Sunday.  He only moved into his house back in November.  Tim's a young guy, about 27 i'd guess; absolutely adorable with his crewcut and short reddish-brown beard.  I looked out and saw smoke so i ran around back of ( Read more... )

Yesterday morning i was up early and picked up Patrick for our  sunrise with the cherry blossoms photo op.  I was actually on time for a change, and we found parking up past the FDR Memorial as there were a huge number of people out already.  It was a great morning weatherwise, and Patrick was quite cuddly at times, which i always find unusual for ( Read more... )

Last Friday i picked Bill up and we headed over to BHH for a quick beer and to get Dane.  We got there at 6 and shared a pitcher as Dane arrived a little late, and around 7:15 we headed over to D.A.R. Constitution Hall for the Moody Blues concert. I have to throw in a quick bitch to DC for changing the parking meter times.  It used to be something ( Read more... )

  Went to the DC Auto show on Friday.  I love going during the week and avoiding the big crowds.  There were a few less brands there this year; most notably Porsche and SAAB.  But as nice as Porsches are, they really don't "do it" for me; plus if they were there they would have had the new Panamera, and that car would be in the running for ugliest ( Read more... )

On Christmas Eve i drove over to grok  and mai_neh  's dinner party in Silver Spring.  The food and company were great, as usual.  Unfortunately i didn't get to stay as late as i'd have liked, as i was hitting the road to head to Wilmington, DE, from there.  I got to John and Kevins condo a little before 11 PM and we just chatted and watched tv.  Christmas ( Read more... )

I ran across an article on TTAC.com showing the Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge (proposed name) across the Colorado River at the Hoover Dam.  I didn't even realize they were building a bridge there, but construction started in 2005 and should be completed September 2010.  It's being built to alleviate traffic problems on the dam, and ( Read more... )

We got a little snow today.  Unfortunately it canceled my plans to go out of town to visit my grandmother and some friends.
