As I walked into work, passing the deli, I wondered what I would have for lunch. Then I remembered I brought lunch. THEN I remembered I brought lunch as far as onto the Metro… but not back off.

“Is that your bag?”  That may be heard a lot today on the red … [ more ]

Back in April, when my brother and friends were visiting and we went to the Natural History Museum, Selena metro’d into town to meet us primarily because she wanted to see the butterfly exhibit. Sadly, we dawdled just too long at the Hope Diamond, and by the time we … [ more ]

Here’s how I know that Selena is a first-time runner – because while Dean and I and surely about everyone thought there are a lot of people running right now because we are running a race, Selena’s mind went a different place on Saturday night.

Apparently all those end-of-days blockbusters like … [ more ]

Top Seven things about 2007
7. We discovered more about each other.

This blog was started to capture all the discoveries Greg and Selena had … [ more ]

I thought Selena was difficult to wake in the morning, but she’s got nothing on the J. Seward Johnson’s “Awakening” statue. This sleeping giant has been in the process of rising from its Hains Point earthen bed for 27 years and appears finally ready to get up, with a little … [ more ]

A letter to Scooter Libby.

Hey Scoot,

Our book club met at Las Halles on Pennsylvania Avenue Tuesday, and you and your full legal team were there having a dinner meeting. Did you try the blood sausages? They were delicious.

I want to address the outcries from my table of “UnAmerican”; and “Terrorist”. … [ more ]

The walk from Rockville metro to our home is incredibly short, but there is a brief five foot span through a path that is in a dark, shadowy area through some trees. Yesterday, I was only subconsciously aware of my surroundings as I was walking through this particularly dimly lit … [ more ]
