A brief review of a lovely show: James Taylor’s “One Man Band” tour made its DC stop on the eve of the 2006 mid-term elections. As such, the concert was a welcome respite from attack politics, and while not free of political jabs, placed songcraft and storytelling at the fore. To me, it was the …

Congrats to Lance Armstrong for running a sub-3-hour marathon in NYC today!

Y’know, the saying is correct: you don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone. And much like last year, I’m itching to get back on my bike after being injured. I’m very glad that the injury isn’t the same scope as my shoulder – that would be unbearable. A bruised rib is not fun – …
It’s now November 1, which means the beginning of National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo. sprite is a participant in this endeavor, where she is to write a 175-page novel over the next month.
