Last summer. I'm thinking it was just a one-shot show opportunity, as he said he was up for the weekend from the city, staying at his girlfriends mother's house in Clifton Park, which is our local big box, giant pink houses cookie cutter bedroom community. Which sort of cracked me up -- it's one of those places where there's "no there there".

thanks for that! I eat salmon a couple times a week, and i know I shouldn't eat the farm-raised for a variety of reasons, but I just don't l ike the wild as much. My market is advertising 'ocean-raised farm salmon' this week .... wondering what that's about. Maybe like free-range chickens ... they catch and cage and grow them in the actual ocean? I bought local farm half-and-half this weekend, which is $$$ and tasty and turns the coffee the right color quicker than the store-bought processed variety. I scoff at fat-free half and half. "everything made of corn syrup" makes me think

Im with Bjorn on that. I stopped eating crappy processed food a couple months ago and I feel much better.* One thing I'd been curious about was quinoa, which appears to be a grain but is actually the fruit of a succulent plant. I had some at a dinner last night -- it looks and tastes and has a texture similar to rice, but is a complete protein, easily digestible, lots of antioxidents and minerals. I think this may become one of my staple foods. more on quinoa, and generally a great source of nutrition info Although not a common item in most kitchens today, quinoa is an amino acid-r

I saw him solo at a tiny club in Albany and was duly unimpressed.

thanks. I was with ya til there ... you mean Rob Lowe's brother? President Logan was too excellently creepy NOT to bring back.

cliff notes on last night, anyone? I fell asleep before the magic hour.

that's what she said. "when the going gets weird ..... " you know the rest of it . The drugs and mayhem aside, Hunter said what he meant, and meant what he said, fallout be damned. And for that I appreciated him. I was a little disappointed to find my son watching the Fear and Loathing movie without knowing the book was an iconic document of its day.

Damn ... you have a tractor, a truck AND a trampoline?? Is that a trike I see?

don't wash your kids hair either!

power to the people!!!!! When I was a senior in HS, a couple other of us chicas did internships in DC. One in particular did an internship in the DC jail. She never clued me in on the accomodations or atmosphere of the place, but she did run away with the circus (literally) with one of her coworkers. Ringling Brothers was in town, her coworker was an aspiring clown, and they left town on the circus train. Apropros of nothing, but a true story nonetheless.

wow. nice.

If you're up at the Capitol, take a peek inside the Library of Congress (across the street from the Capitol, and next door to the Supreme Court). Of course this is coming from a library geek, but the rotunda and the vastness of the card catalogs is mind-boggling. (I wonder if they still have card catalogs. ) I've never been one to be hampered by the 'dorky' factor. Especially since when I did it I had 3 little ones in tow, and all of our abilities to hoof the considerable distances was limited. In my mind, not to be missed: Lincoln Memorial (Abe was HUGE, dude!), Jefferson Memor

DC is one of those towns you need at least a month to really see. I lived there for years, and despite my dedicated efforts, still missed alot. The Adams-Morgan (north of Dupont Circle) neighborhood typically has more of the funky ethnic type restaurants. Georgetown is cool, but very pricey and crowded and full of drunken college students and hill staffers. One of my very favorite hidden treasures in DC is Dumbarton Oaks ... a private collection tucked away on a beautiful estate in Georgetown, features a damn impressive collection of pre-columbian, mesoamerican artifacts. And a serene

I'd brown bag it from here on out.

nice job Eric Kehoe. I shushed those in the audience who didn't know enough to be reverent.

very happy birthday to you Ben.

Badass is apparently genetic. I don't think the kid's going down without a fight. Audrey can stay elsewhere IMO.

Happy Birthday Alison! many happy returns.

huh. is this the point at which I throw my panties on the stage?

I'm debating whether or not to be offended.

Sit, darlin'.

I just like the little ones, but obviously, they have to be sorted before being eaten.
