Apres Ski Night at POV
The last time I was on a slope I think I almost died, or at least almost maimed my own self. Here’s the story: I was following a girlfriend who was at a much more aggressive level than me down moguls because she said they were fun. “Just do exactly as what I do, [...]
Judging Tailgates at the 74th Running of the International Gold Cup
This past weekend’s weather reminded as to why I love Washington. Actually, the weekend prior was just as perfect. I took myself on a 3 hour tour of Roosevelt Island for the first time and down the Virginia side of the Mount Vernon Trail. Talk about being at peace. All I needed was my iPod [...]
Photos from 9/11 10th Anniversary : Astros at Nationals & Giants at Redskins

It’s Legg Mason Tennis Classic Time
I always equate Legg Mason with massive amounts of perspiration. It only took me a few years of going to the tournament to realize why. It’s held during one of the hottest times of the year (August in D.C.), but it’s so worth attending. Bring your squeegee to politely clean up after yourself, but definitely [...]
