The New Rug

Seriously...was this necessary?

I Prefer Waffle House

According to the DCist, an IHOP is being considered for Columbia Heights. While I realize not everyone can afford breakfast at Commonwealth or The Heights, I too am a bit disappointed that a chain is the solution. Why can't we get a Mom & Pop type breakfast joint/diner with affordable prices? Of course in Columbia Heights it would more likely be a Pop & Pop joint! I supposed the rents and economic risk make start-up costs prohibitive.

None will be haters when partaking of the $4.99 all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast at 4 AM. I know a few of you who put on your head scarves slip into Ruby Tuesday a la Anastasia Beaverhausen for some cheap & guilty pleasures...I predict you'll be the same folks up in the IHOP.

Many are weighing in on the subject (see below)...frankly, I prefer Waffle House.
- IHOP is Headed for Columbia Heights; The end is near - 14th & You
- Give me pancakes or give me death! or at least give me something else equally as high-brow - The Anti DC

Disclosure: I've NEVER stepped foot in the Columbia Heights Ruby Tuesday with or without Cynthia & Rita Jean.

I am back from our mini vacation, recovered from the boozin, and ready for my 2nd day back to work. Check out my twitter page to see the pie I made last night with Toya.

Happy Blogiversary to ME and Happy Earth Day to YOU

I first blogged on this day in 2006. While the 'early days' were mindless, stupid, and irregular, today is the official three year anniversary. I guess one might still call this blog ....

Happy Earth Day! Enjoy this Sesame Street Clip. It's better than putting up a pic of an anniversary cake and it reminds me of the time my baby girl (~3 years old) colored herself green with Crayola markers. I'll never forget her saying, with a trembling, I know what I did was probably wrong voice, "...but Daddy, I really wanted to be greeeeeeeeen." I swear it took three green baths to turn her back to a somewhat human color. I sent her back to her Mom's at the end of that weekend with a slightly green tint. It took some splaining to do. Conclusion: Crayola - Washable - Not completely.

Motorin'

We just finished lunch and we're heading South full sail ahead!

Caviar & Champagne on the Bay!

We are pretty freakin' far from everything to not have a motor. Lauren and I strongly encouraged Tom to prove we could also go back in the other direction. Test was successful so now we are going further out. This is serious fun! See the Bay Bridge in the background! Lauren keeps inuiring about the distance to FL

Rigging the boat!

Lauren and I are cautiously optimistic!

She has a name!

Fun times!

I first was comfortable with being gay at the Pittsbugh Eagle after seeing men showing affection and 2 stepping...this isn't 2 stepping, but it is still hot! I wore my boots but not my hat (there was a costume change) Do you like my blogging? I am not sure that anyone even reads this shit and even though the web traffic is positive, I might want to stop soon.

Vacation Flashback

It wasn't all political history and relaxation on vacation. I also met a new girlfriend. She even brought her kid to Amerika, the nightclub. This pic shows when she spilled her drink on my shoulder. I guess it is hard to hold a baby, smoke, drink, dance, and look longingly into my American eyes all at once.


I was a little shocked to find she was trying to cheat on her boyfriend with me, but then realized he was into it and posed for a photo. Yes, he is, mmm, a short person with an oxygen tank. Notice it didn't stop anyone from smoking, including him!


Fun Vacation Memories! Thanks to Oscar for sending these photos taken at some ungodly morning disco hour!
