In the past few days, I’ve received a number of calls on my cell phone from a number that identifies itself as “Unknown.” They call three to five times per day, never leaving a voicemail. If this person happens upon this site (chances are they won’t, but what’s the loss in trying?), let me make …
It really was wonderful, that’s for sure! And I had my cameras – the Canon and the iPhone – with me throughout the fun, capturing moments that I won’t soon forget. You can see all of the pictures by clicking here. They’re split up by day and/or event, so have a look around!
The inauguration brought forth a new day to DC, the country and the world. A bunch of us decided to see what the crowds were like heading down to The Mall. They were sizable, for sure, but unified in positive attitude, which was a marked contrast from the typical protest crowd that tends to assemble …
Yesterday’s “We Are One” concert was a wonderful experience. Sure, we didn’t make it into the secured area between the WWII and Lincoln Memorials, but our “seats” were quite good: in front of the Washington Monument, right in front of a Jumbotron and speaker array. While the audio and video were out-of-sync (the audio was …
Down at The Mall for the “We Are One” concert. We’re in the overflow area, outside of the security perimeter at the foot of the Washington Monument – no way we were going to brave the mile-plus-long lines. As such, we have good “seats” by a Jumbotron. And we’re just a few of over 500,000 …
Sometimes it pays to be the early bird. And it sure-as-hell sucks to be the late bird. Let’s start with the latter, because it’s better to end on a high note (at least that’s what Hollywood tells me). Next week, as anybody not living in a remote wilderness or in a self-imposed media blackout knows, …
Here’s what’s been on my mind over the past week: Had a root canal last Tuesday. It was amazingly low-pain and low-stress, all things being equal. The only thing is that I need to chew on one side of my mouth, as the rooted tooth only has a temporary crown on it right now. My …
Today, Saturday, has been one of… not a lot of sense. First off, I woke up s-l-o-w-l-y, and was discouraged that the promised bad weather wasn’t happening just yet. I wasn’t really in a mood to go on a bike ride, and was hoping the weather would be a co-conspirator. Alas, it wasn’t, though I …
Quick updates: My nice, long holiday break came to an end yesterday. Heading back to the office isn’t all bad – I really like my co-workers and the return of students is always a lot of fun – but it’s like going from zero to 100 in a very short time. Yet today I’m off …
So now we’re two full days into 2009, and it’s been… well, another set of days. Actually, it’s been a lot of fun – though I’ll need to backtrack to last year to really recap what’s been going on. After arriving back from New England early Wednesday morning, sprite and I got a bit of …
