Blog Playaz
For the Playaz, By the Playaz …Playaz Ball
For those who think of Washington, D.C. as a passionless hub, they should remember that it is a city known for encompassing outsiders. The blogging world is no different. D.C. bloggers have embraced a citizen of the South as
one of it’s own: Phil and the crew of Playaz Ball. The Playaz consists of Phil, The Guv’na, Wayne, Bon and Tac, and their blog tracks many passions including Conway Twitty, Kenny Rogers, Larry Holmes, muscle cars, nuclear weapons negotiations and style (Kangols). This pipe sucking, moustachioed band of misfits share their adventures in a rip-roaring fashion. They’ve been loyal about posting on the D.C. blog websites and DC’er’s, knowing a good thing when they see it, have honorarily adopted the Playaz as their own. Sporting a spiffy new web page, they are well worth your notice. -- By Washington Cube.

Some schools are asking teachers to maintain their own blogs, this writer
reports. Blogging is an interest to this writer, a teacher at DC’s Jefferson Junior High School and technology liaison to the DC Area Writing Project. This post includes a list of teacher bloggers.A Rose by any Other Name

This is a lyrical and engaging perspective on perfume: shopping for it, its
connection to chocolate and the need for coffee beans. An excerpt:
Wouldn’t it be my absolute luck to fall in love with a fragrance that would serve as a daily reminder of someone whom I’d love to forget?

The gentlemen at The Cleveland Park Men’s Club are inviting readers and everyone else, to the new Cleveland Park Bar and Grill, 3421 Connecticut Ave. (Google map link here) for a joint activity tonight. It starts at 7 p.m. The CPMC writes: In elegant coordination with this Fall's Gold Cup, our good friend Chris Lindland will be showing off his new Fall line of horizontal cordarounds. Aerodynamic, warm, and fuzzy are these britches.
A review of Argia’s. The gnocchi are like silk. The mussels are listed as an appetizer but the serving is so huge that I eat them as an entree. The white wine/butter/garlic sauce whispers rather than shouts, these may be some of the best mussels in the DC area … From Just a Bump in the Beltway.
Metro Barbarians: Someone stepped on my toe on the Metro this morning. Twice. The first time, I almost yelled out because it was so shockingly painful. The second time, I bit my lip and elbowed him in the back... Secret Simmerings and Shameful Scandals of the Singular Smash.

Thanks for this plugging about my Teacher Sol blog. I am an advocate of integrating writing and technology inside the classroom, and a certified blog addict (*wink*). I share what I know about this blogging technology to the DC Public Schools teachers as a Teacher Consultant to the DC Area Writing Project. Thanks again!
Thanks for the shout-out! See you at the next disco night at whatever club actually does them....
Thanks for allowing us to share your space. There are a lot of good folks who blog around here. No wonder nothing gets done in Washington!
KOB--you gonna be at the Cleveland Park get together tonight??
Phil -- Thanks go to Cube. She alerted me to your effort, and then agreed to write that wonderful synopsis about your entertaining blog. Cube is an outstanding and insightful writer who, through her Blog-A-Thon, has managed to turn blogging into an action sport. Can a Nike contract be far behind?
Dennis: Thanks -- you must keep that office lively and quick stepping.
Teacher Sol: you are welcome
Penny -- I wish, I wish. But tonight, I can't.
Thanks for the plug, KOB...hope to see you either tonight or tomorrow...
Paulo loves you.

Thank you for taking note of my post on perfume and for leaving a comment, too. In today's RSS-feed world, one wonders if anyone's even reading, and it made my day that you took the time to notice and say hello!
