Ed Romanoff with Mary Gauthier at The Hamilton | May 15th
I first met Ed Romanoff years and years and years ago. He was tall with mussy (yes, that word fits his locks) hair, a constant 5 o’clock shadow, bright eyes and year round look of being out in the sun. If I remember correctly, he was always in long shorts, wore a plaid button down [...]
Detroit: 138 Square Miles | Julia Reyes Taubman’s Photographic Tome of Motor City
Even a possible five hour Caps v Rangers playoff game couldn’t keep many away from Comet Ping Pong Wednesday night.

#WHCD Weekend Wrap Up : We Made It Out Alive (Part 2)
I write our final #WHCD post while in a health condition more favorable than during the past two days, which was in basic recovery mode.

#WHCD Weekend Wrap Up : Thomson Reuters McLaughlin Brunch

#WHCD Weekend Wrap Up : We Made It Out Alive (Part 1)
I’m starting to feel the effects of Twitter and Facebook… all this quick typing and figuring out how to make everything more condensed for the Punch Community is starting to take its toll on me. I fear I may be the newest member of “Planet of the A.D.D.” where grunting is acceptable and everything is [...]

And the fun begins. White House Correspondents’ Association weekend has basically for all intents and purposes, commenced. A friend informed me he wouldn’t be able to attend our Annual Kids Dinner at the Darlington House in between the pre-Dinner receptions and the post-Dinner parties, by saying, “…so I’ll be missing the celebrity petting zoo.” Truer [...]
