All written in one sentence it seems like a busy weekend but it was [...]

Erika and I have decided to celebrate the weekend in the relative warmth of Melbourne, FL…  despite the draw of being close to history in the making we went for convenience and making the most of some free southwest tickets to ‘get away’.

It’s Christmas in DC and though I don’t know my neighboor to the right (our place is on the left) I can tell that we’ll get along.  That is after Erika and I go to the store and buy a bunch more lights for our windows.  We can’t be outdone of course!

Happy 4th to all! I hope everyone was able to enjoy the holiday with friends and family!  Erika and I were thrilled to host a small get-together here in DC at the new place and excited to show off the condo.  Our plan was to eat and hang out at the place, then head to [...]

$5 tickets (2)
$20 parking (at our own building)*
$30 concessions
Monsoon in the bottom of the 6th Inning avoided by a timely exit and a $6 bike-rickshaw ride directly to the Marriot bar(same building as our place) to enjoy scotch while laughing at wet people…
PRICELESS!!!
The escape from the rain delay actually turned a very poor game (from [...]
