DC Blogs noted


Reconnecting
Eileen’s Journey to Enlightenment
Sometimes a blog post is so seemingly personal I’m reluctant to provide a link. It doesn’t matter that they are anonymous. But, conversely, these posts can also be viewed as life-affirming acts, perhaps therapeutic or written for the purpose inspiring others. Regardless of motive, people who write about the challenging issues they face are authentic and effective voices.

This post was written by a woman who traveled to DC on business. DC is only a backdrop in this story but an important one. Some of what DC offers, especially the Holocaust museum, helped this writer. This post is frank and deals with difficult issues. I’ll leave it at that. Click on the link for the rest.

So after much reflection I have come to a number of decisions. The first is to reconnect with the spiritual source that guides and enriches my life. By trying to keep balance for my family, I have lost my own internal balance.

Kristielicious
At a dog adoption event this writer wants to make sure that “Bruno” ends up with the right family. It’s not without a fight.
I told the VP that I didn’t like them. I told him why. He said that he wanted to give the dog a chance” even though my problem was not at all with the dog, it was with the people. The VP told me to sign the paper. I just looked at him. He told me to sign it and have the secretary do a third interview. So I did.
Quota
In Shaw
The drug dealers have been starting their business earlier than normal. Is this a sign of a declining market? A perceptive analysis by this neighborhood writer.
… it is not like they can move in to another area without some costs and headaches, so they might stay put until the costs of operating on that block, outweigh the benefits…
What I learned after a week in DC
Interning in the District
New arrival in DC chronicles his adventures and offers a list of the “top five things I learned after a week in DC” that nontheless tops out at eight. Including: “Peanut Butter and bread is a breakfast food.”

New DCeptette. If the DCeiver isn’t one of your regular DC blog reads for some reason, then check out this post. The “moving gate” photo, especially, is side-splitting.

DC Food Blog reviews Bistro Italiano, Capitol Hill. “I highly recommend the pizza. It's exactly what you want your neighborhood pizza place pizza to taste like.”
