Time to Serve! »

It is a rainy Sunday here in the DC area, a rainy weekend to be exact. I am ok with that, I like the rain – and since it is basically keeping me indoors for much of the day I am taking this opportunity to move some furniture around the house and repurpose some [...]

Proposition 8 = Proposition Hate »

I am angry.  This video is worthy of another view.

Rollin’ on the River… »

Oh.  My.  God.  What an awesome adventure!  Today, LC and I went on a 6-hour kayaking trip out of Leesburg Virginia and ended at Terera Winery, voted the best winery in Loudon County, where we enjoyed a 2-hour tasting and winery tour.  What a great day!
The weather was very cooperative, not too sunny and not [...]

Orlando Day 1 »

It was certainly an adventurous arrival!  I awoke at 4AM to get ready for my shuttle to the airport that was set to pick me up shortly after 5AM.  Well, they were on time!  It was a rather nice ride to the airport, as early as it was, and I was greeted at the departure [...]

Orlando, Here I Come! »

On the eve of my flight to Orlando for the ASCD Conference (from which I will be blogging), I am excited to pack once again for Florida.  The last time I flew into Orlando, as you well know, was when I ran the Goofy Challenge.  Well this trip has no marathon attached to it and [...]

What a Weekend! »

The weather was simply gawgeous! What more can I say?  With temperatures in the mid to high 70’s there were so many things we could have done, but here is what we ended up doing.  Friday after work, we met up in the Columbia Heights section of DC and spent some time walking around and [...]
