The To Do List

February 2nd, 2012 · No Comments · Capitol Hill

So here we are: the first weekend of February in the good ol’ U S of A. What is there to do? For starters, there is apparently some fab game going on– they throw this funny-shaped ball back and forth and the players wear tight spandex. I hear it’s pretty good. If you want to [...]

The To Do List

January 19th, 2012 · No Comments · Capitol Hill, Eastern Market, H Street

I don’t know about anyone else, but for me, this feels like the first week of the year where the holidays are really over and I’m finally getting my life back in order.

The To Do List

December 22nd, 2011 · No Comments · Capitol Hill

You’ve checked off your gift-giving list; you’ve trimmed everything that ever needed trimming. You baked cookies; you ate your body weight in cookie dough. You’ve cooked and cleaned and fa-la-la-ed until the cows came home.

The To Do List

November 3rd, 2011 · No Comments · Capitol Hill

The chill in the air and shortening days seems to activate the “it’s almost winter, we better get busy and take care of the raking, gutters, windows, etc, etc” nagging voices in my head. So what do I do? Look for as many diversions for the weekend as possible.

October 6th, 2011 · No Comments · Capitol Hill

Yet again, I find myself sitting here at 12:38am, the night before a ToDo List is needed – with no ToDo List. So, I’m going to take some liberties here… How about this weekend, you get off the Hill? Expand your horizons! The weather is going to be beautiful this weekend, so go hike Old [...]

To Do List

September 29th, 2011 · No Comments · H Street, New Hill East

I’ve been waiting all month for the calendar to near October 1, the self-imposed date that determines I’m allowed to eat as much candy corn as I want. Halloween is just around the corner, people!

The days are indeed getting shorter, the neighborhood squirrels are mad with nut harvesting and there are leaves all over my yard. But damn, these temperatures just aren’t taking the hint.

To Do List

September 15th, 2011 · No Comments · Capitol Hill

Given the number of people at last year’s H Street Festival, I’m expecting to see you all there on Saturday from noon to 7pm.  There will be art cars and artists, Chinese dragon dances and speed chess, contests for tattoos and pie eating.  Plus music and performances on stages at 8th, 10th, 14th and on [...]

The To Do List

September 8th, 2011 · 1 Comment · Barracks Row, Capitol Hill, Capitol Riverfront/ Near Southeast, H Street

The weather forecast for the weekend looks grim — that is, if we all don’t wash away by Friday. After a few wet days wherein my feet begin to turn to webs, I think it’s best to plug ahead, make grand plans inside and out for the weekend and pray these tropical storms just get [...]
