Well, our bags are packed and we're ready to go… on a 20-hour (+ Super Bowl stop) bus ride to Ocean Springs, Mississippi, where we'll be spending a week helping people rebuild from Hurricane Katrina. From what we hear, there's still plenty of work to be done. The work assignments change weekly (yes, there have…
Quick Trip, as opposed to Whirlwind Trip, which was the December trip (down and back in one day, a whole 1/2 hour in the city). Cappuccino Every trip must begin with coffee… we opted for the home-brewed Italian coffee this time. That means freshly ground espresso beans, stovetop Italian coffee maker, steamed milk, and…
Neisha logo On Friday evening, we went to Neisha, a Thai restaurant in Tenleytown that Alex has always walked past but never visited (being on a college-student budget).

Well, not exactly, but a lovely evening at Kaya … We (the four of us) met L and her friend Mahnaz (& her husband & daughter) at 7:00 last Tuesday for a fun evening of delicious food (& drink) and good conversation. L & I had Earl Grey marTEAnis, mmm mmm! Then A & I shared a dish…
What are your resolutions for 2007? Hmmm, maybe if I post them, they'll be more likely to happen… I just have some basic ones: Do my 4 daily home tasks before playing around getting sidetracked on the computer 😮 Run as many days as possible (still trying to shed 2005 Italy holiday pounds, also must…
