So, has the security insanity taken over your life?  Did it make your commute soul-crushingly awful?  Or don’t you care at all? Maybe you’re not in DC, and you don’t even know what I’m on about! If I were First Lady, my “Signature Issue” would be: Reining In The Secret Service. To demonstrate my commitment, [...]

They’re baaaack!  This weekend marked the beginning of Tourist Season here in DC.  No, that’s not like Elmer Fudd’s Wabbit Season!  But the start of the Cherry Blossom Festival means that the busloads of spring-break school trips have arrived en masse, and family vacations have begun. The weather was too beautiful to stay home on [...]

Restaurant Week Is A Good Thing

Posted in Posts, tagged , , on August 28, 2009 | Comments Off

I love Restaurant Week!  My former coworker GW doesn’t mess around when it comes to his food, so each time RW is announced he is right on top of reminding everyone and we organize an outing, usually composed of employees and ex-employees of The Firm.  It’s a nice excuse for me to go over and [...]

Adorable

I love this.  At first glance they may look like the same suit as well, but on a closer viewing I see that Mr.  Bernanke has on a windowpane.  Now, I know that Jos.A.Bank was having a sale recently, but… However, I am proud of them.  See, they are using appropriate knots for the collars.  [...]

It’s in the photograph of love

Posted in Posts, tagged , on March 13, 2009 | Comments Off

Minimarts are the best

The TIGR Beat

Posted in Posts, tagged , , on December 9, 2008 | Comments Off

Technology, Innovation, and Government Reform Best Government Acronym Ever. I am transported back to 1984, at the corner 5 & 10, looking at “SIMON & JOHN TELL ALL; C THOMAS’ DATE NIGHT” headlines on Tiger Beat.  I was not allowed to buy it…part of me is sad, the rest of me says “thanks, mom”. Anyhow, [...]

I don’t know how much Energy it would cost a bug to walk across this bit of bronze, but I think he might enjoy exploring the relativity equations!  (I took this photo with the camera nearly lying on the sculpture’s surface – with just enough distance to accomodate focal length.)
