Washington, DC Blog. Passing time in the nation's capital. Wednesday, January 28, 2015. I fell in love when I was seven. The girl, Claire, didn't say anything to me as I played a game of war between my Transformers and some rubber dinosaurs. Who's to say who would win if it came to a fight between a T-Rex and an autobot? At first the swans were regular seeming swans that I've seen since in other people who were expert at origami. She produced three or four swans, similar looking, though upon closer i...

Washington, DC Blog. Passing time in the nation's capital. Friday, November 28, 2014. When the world was flat. I, being a mother, do not think it is possible for a child to fall off the edge of the earth into the burning heart of God because in order to fall off the edge of the world that child would have not been minding his mother, who, in this earthly realm, is about as close to a divine representative as he or she is going to get.

Washington, DC Blog. Passing time in the nation's capital. Friday, October 31, 2014. How to make a puzzle. The border on the left side was comprised of grey slate stone that made up part of a large house that extended beyond the frame. The right side of the puzzle included bits of a river disappearing into the distance and a purple flower, maybe wisteria, climbing along an old wall that ran parallel to the river. Links to this post. Wednesday, October 29, 2014. A drinking tour of Bainbridge island. Which...

Washington, DC Blog. Passing time in the nation's capital. Saturday, May 31, 2014. Nobody Blogs on a Saturday morning. It’s a miscalculation to work at a college as you age. Co-worker: I thought you were twenty-five? M: You must not have seen me in direct light. The beginnings of the essay are rooted in aphorisms about the Spartans. Now we have bumper stickers. The secret to getting laundry done in a building with college students is to do it on Friday nights. In the building across the street all the li...

Washington, DC Blog. Passing time in the nation's capital. Monday, May 25, 2015. Game of Thrones: The Gift. If last week’s episode of Thrones. In Dorne, Bronn gets to show off his singing chops before being brought to his knees by the poison from one of Oberyn’s daughter’s spears. In true GOT fashion, she opens her shirt to help him understand just how helpless he is against the poison, or in this case, a woman’s body. Links to this post. Saturday, May 23, 2015. After a lunch of black grapes and cheese.
