I’m feeling a little

I’m feeling a little less fuzzy tonight. I took off early from work to get a haircut. Since I was out in Bethesda anyways, I stopped by my uncle’s place to say hello. Do I lead a thrilling life or what. ‘Scuze me while I take my Geritol. I mean, Continue Reading

I talked with Sara

I talked with Sara last night. She has this nasty habit of making me feel good. If you get bored enough when you’re sitting on the subway, you’ll notice that as the train picks up real speed, the windows start to bow inwards. Between that and quick changes in elevation, Continue Reading

Cool shit… we’ve got

Cool shit… we’ve got 4 sub-leasees now for our new office. A photographer, some CPAs, a data mining company, and a magazine. And a verbal agreement to rent our old office. It’s much easier on the nerves to know you won’t be responsible for rent on empty offices. Missed my Continue Reading

Whenever I go from

Whenever I go from Washington to New York, I pass through a small — very small — town in Pennsylvania called Canton. Nothing particularly stands out about the place. It’s population probably only numbers in the hundreds, or a couple thousand at best. I didn’t see any national chain stores Continue Reading

If you’re gonna call

If you’re gonna call me at 7 in the morning to sell me crap I don’t need, you should at least have the decency to talk to me in person so I can tell you where to go. would you guess I’m not a morning person?

You have to wonder

You have to wonder what goes on in this city after dark. I can hear someone going at i with a jackhammer out there. How does anyone use a jackhammer after dark — and why?

I went to the

I went to the National Mall after work. The Airforce and Border Patrol had displays set up, with tanks, helicopters, jets, and mobile rocket launchers.
