I See Dead People
Cleveland Park Men’s Club
This is an exceptional post by the Senator. It’s about his experience as a volunteer with an emergency medical team. It’s a post about life, death and respect – and it's one of the best I’ve read. It's effective because it tells a story built on authentic experience. This is how it starts:

Slowdown in DC theater attendence?
Theater Boy
This post, titled Where do we go from here? Ask blog readers to share their views about a slowdown in theater attendance. And did they. There are some 45 comments in response to this request. Some brief excerpts from a sampling of the many comments on this lively blog:
-- People bring up dvds and movies as possible culprits but in fact sales of both movie tickets and dvds have also been declining.
-- As for the summer slump, I have one word for all of yas: it's called VACATION.
-- It's definitely not due to summer vacation time. All of us regularly going to DC theatre have seen the drop off in attendance.
-- I don't have A/C in my car, so someone's gotta flash some flesh to get me to motor on in to DC from VA.
-- We also have to look at who drives ticket sales. Speaking strict demographics: women and gay men.
-- Certain theater two days ago. Audience of nine, cast of nine. Act (Play) 2, audience of 4, all of whom seem sedated or have their mouths sewn shut.

Please read both posts. He was funny and unabashed and ready to talk about the things (like marriage) that I've been avoiding for years. He asked me interesting questions that made me think. I enjoy that. He asked, "When did you know you were ready to get married?"
Love, Love, Love
Our writer, Princess Guiness, attends a Marine Chamber Orchestra concert, but toward the end notices a man with his young son sitting on his lap with a baton. What she witnesses is “most extraordinary," and writes:
I soon realized that I wasn't the only one who had noticed, he may have stolen the show for those of us with wandering eyes. We were delighted, indeed.
Beauty and the Beltway
This DC resident via Montana has had enough of her apartment building. There’s the police car that crashed into the building, the flood from an apartment above, and then there’s the real messy problems in the stairwells.
Attention Residents of the Distri
ct of Columbia, I need your help. I'm in the market for a new apartment and I'm looking for advice and recommendations. Which neighborhoods are the best/worst? Which buildings do you love/hate? Are apartment brokers worth the money? Which management companies should be avoided? But just so you have an idea what I am looking for, let's discuss where I have been. …
The guys seemed like nice enough people but when you partake in an underground economy such as they had it cheapens a neighborhood and endangers a community. But this morning that is no longer a concern - because somewhere in a DC jail sit the former neighbors.
