…all over the kitchen when trying to tranfer said oil into a multi-layered plastic bag for disposal. Now I know what those bodybuilders feel like. And after a shower to get it all off of my hands, legs and feet, I wonder: how do those people do it? How do they wash all that stuff …
It’s a sure sign that spring has arrived: the return of the Potomac Pedalers Tuesday night “Downtown Breakaway” ride. This ride is a staple of my cycling here in DC, and though I have classes ’til 6:00 on Tuesdays (until mid-May), I’m gonna meet up with the group along the way. The ride leaves from …
Something I heard over the weekend has been stuck in my craw ever since, so I figured I’d let it free here. On this week’s installment of The Chris Matthews Show, the host asked whether we, the viewers, still remembered the events of September 11, 2001. I’m sure he was asking this because of increasing …

During the off-season, the Washington Nationals acquired Alfonso Soriano from the Texas Rangers. In Soriano, Nationals general manager Jim Bowden saw a marquée player who could hit the long ball and bring fans to RFK Stadium. The problem: the Nats want Soriano to play in left field, while Soriano wants to play second base, his …
The big paper for class is done (save for a final proofing). The apartment cleaning needs some work. And it’s late. But we have a cat-sitter – a great one, at that. And I need sleep, as there is a full day of work, a class, and a drive tomorrow. Oh yeah – and cleaning. …
