The writ
er of this lively blog -- the story of a marine zoologist in her mid 20's with the heart of an 8 year old the mind of a 76 year old and the sex drive of a 32 year old -- reports that her dolphin has given birth. Post includes incredible photos of the birth.
I really must say that there is nothing more exhilerating than watching the calf learn and begin to understand even within the first few hours.
DC Sleeps Alone Tonight
This post is about family and July 4th, but with themes that probably ring very true for many here in DC. It begins like this:
I haven't lived at home or near my parents for 12 years. The difference between our lifestyles are superficial and spiritual, yet the building blocks are the same. This gaping hole creates conflict in my heart and my intestines everytime I get ready for my twice a year visits.
July 4th and the underworld.
One of my favorite Fourth of July activities here on Tennessee Avenue is the reading of the Declaration of Independence which we do with the neighbors every year. The hostess parcels out the lines so almost everyone gets to read. We read the last paragraph together and then everyone applauds. It's fun and seems patriotic in a healthy way, though lately I've been wondering.
Our writer recalls his first day at the U.S. Naval Academy. It was 20 years ago this week. An outstanding read.
As we walked into Halsey Field House in our civilian clothes, we were warmly greeted by the upperclassman. “Welcome to the Naval Academy” they said with smiles on their faces as they pointed us to our respective registration/check in tables. I remember the smiles. It seemed a strange juxtaposition to the banner hung on the edge of the Lejuene Hall which read: “Welcome Class of 89: Attrition is our mission. Class of 1987.”
Grateful Dating
When words aren't enough.
Two by four (2x4) guys are the ones you have to hit over the head with a 2x4 to get their attention. They are the ones floating along, totally clueless. They can't tell when you are flirting with them.
Cocoricamo
The mid-week storm that hit DC Metro inspired this well-turned piece.
…but as they did blow through the riverstreet, each car birthed rollicking waves that stretched wide and rocked the vehicles parked alongside the street. we'd all gasp in unison and watch as an entire row of cars lined up like metallic candies would rise with the waves, rock to one side, and eventually be dropped again, each time at a slightly more acute angle -- and in the end, all (at least partially) "parked" on the sidewalks.

The Church of the Big Sky will be on the radio today. This Friday, I have a short (as in 3 1/2 minutes) commentary on the show Metro Connection on WAMU 88.5 FM, American University's exception public radio station. Metro Connection runs 1-2 p.m. EST on Friday (it will be replayed a couple of times over the weekend.) My short summer rant will be at the end of the show. If you live in the DC area, you can hear me growling from your radio dial…. About an hour after the show airs, it will be up on the WAMU website, so you can access my little rant-let at your leisure. Just follow the links here. Also: I know this is just something little, but for me, it's very exciting. This is my first time doing radio. And, more importantly for me, this is the first time I've been paid to be a writer. Small moment though it may be, it still tickles me pink.
Frozen Tropics has news about a new flea market in the Wholesale Food District. It looked like a mix of items. There was new merchandise as well as a sizable collection of garage sale worthy items.
DC Food Blog has a recommendation regarding Rainier Cherries, which can be sumed up simply: Get some now.
