Running Away with the Circus : “Fully Charged” Comes to the Patriot Center
By Punch Pulse Correspondent Niki Clark At some point, we’ve all had the same dream. To run away with the circus. What an incredible feat it would be!

Johnnie Walker Whisky and Toffee Pudding at Againn = Very Good Night
By Punch Pulse Correspondent Niki Clark As you may recall from previous posts, I’m a fan of bourbon whisky. So when I heard about the Johnnie Walker tasting and food pairings at D.C.’s gastropub Againn (pron. A-gwen), I think I rsvped in record time. But I can be naïve sometimes (not along the level of [...]
It’s a Riot: The Riot Act Comedy Theater Opens in Penn Quarter
By Punch Pulse Correspondent Niki Clark My boyfriend cracks me up. I swear if he wasn’t a geospatial astronaut (he’s does something so super smart that I’m not quite sure what exactly it is), he could have his very own comedic stand-up act. So when I found out that Riot Act Comedy Theatre, a new [...]
Urban Farm Table Under the Stars

Got Bourbon?
By Punch Pulse Correspondent Niki Clark My mother knows her bourbon. To be fair, my entire extended family is a bit bourbon-fanatical.

The Passion of Peru
By Punch Pulse Correspondent Niki Clark On any give night in the Clark household, dinner consists of a Boca burger and a Coke Zero. Or if I’m lucky, and my boyfriend is feeling generous, the world’s best grilled cheese sandwich. And while his mastery of the bread and cheese combo is pretty much world-renowned, when [...]
A Walk in the Woods with Andrew Skurka
By Punch Pulse Correspondent Niki Clark The capacity of the human body never ceases to amaze me. Just today, at a work baby shower, one of my colleagues told me about the regular (she has 5 children to date) 24-hour labors of her cousin.

Celebrate the Power of Women at CARE’s National Conference and International Women’s Day Celebration
Post by Punch Pulse Correspondent Niki Clark Having grown up in a country where my future is limited only by my imagination, it’s hard to conceive that elsewhere half of the population is considered inferior.

Girl Up Pep Rally in DC
By Punch Pulse Correspondent Niki Clark As someone who often feels her youth is a thing of the past, it’s sometimes easy to think the adolescents of today are lacking in drive.
