DC Sleeps Alone Tonight
Playfulindc is in Richmond and when she returns to DC “I will be living sans Nick.” Meanwhile, she is
I love my good friend Rachel, but she and I have seen the exact type of southern man here in Richmond that makes me consider the convent: big bellied, gassy, bud-lite drinking, nascar watching, deer hunter. Yummy. They have whole bars for this crowd here, which R and I had a very hasty beverage in on Saturday night.
Way Beyond Sunset
This post will take you on a lyrical journey into a night that stretches to the morning. A wonderful read. It starts this way:
I think it all started when I decided which shoes to wear. Opting against my Pumas, I chose my flip flops. I was off to the Nationals/Padres game with my friend Laura. I won't be walking much, I thought. Just from the Metro to the stadium. I think that's when it began.
Church of the Big Sky
Nearing 40 and reading about the “mommy blogs.”
… I (foolishly, apparently) always figured I would be married and have at least one kidlet in my life. However, the fact that I cannot keep a plant alive in my apartment (or stay employed or remember to grocery shop or do laundry or get a boyfriend) is pretty compelling evidence that I wasn't cut out for a parenting role. … Yet, when I read the Happy Mommy (or Daddy) blogs, I really feel that I'm missing something great.

The Blog From Nowhere
...She also has a skill that John Kerry lacked. She is conversant in the language of faith and family. Something that helped George W. Bush and other Republican candidates appeal to the centrists and swing voters. She'll be able to neutralize the faith and family advantage that Republicans nominees usually have...
Also noted:
Blog Vivant (David Gelles) has a quick take review of the restaurant, Zola. It says in part: A melon soup to clear the palate was perfect in the summer heat, and the tuna tar-tare appetizer with cucumber and taro chips was fresh and light.
Things that Drive Me Crazy about DC by a DC Life. iPods/earphones while on the metro or walking around town. Why does this make me cringe? I don't know.
