Breakfast and a Beacon of Overpriced Eggs
This past Sunday we went to the Beacon Bar and Restaurant in our quest to find the elusive good breakfast place. We were seated immediately (it was 8:15 so no big surprise there) and asked almost immediately what we wanted to drink. The coffee (which came in a pot all for me) and the tea arrived fairly quickly. We ordered our breakfast fairly quickly as well, Mark ordered eggs benedict, Robert ordered the French Toast…

This Weekend
I took the train up to BWI and was picked up by my best friend from high school, Eric. He lives up in Hamstead, MD very close to Boring, MD… no really. We drove Friday night into Baltimore to attend a comedy club where one obnoxious drunk guy almost ruined the night for everyone… to be honest the three other drunks with him were also a bit distracting as well, not just to the audience…

Hunt for Breakfast Continues
The second week of our quest it was just me and Mark, Robert had had oral surgery and wasn’t up for solid foods at that point. I had suggested the week before that we go to the Diner, Mark thought that was a good idea so when he showed up on Sunday we headed that way. When we reached 18th street he headed left and I said “No, it’s to the right here”, seems we…

Open Letter to releasers of TV Shows
So I’ve recently started to watch Battlestar Galactica (the new one) and Entourage and found I really like both of them. I downloaded Entourage on my ITunes as it’s nice to be able to watch that show on my Ipod, but BSG with it’s special effects I want to watch on my TV. The issue I encountered was the 1/2 season releases… Season 3 of Entourage was released as 2 separate packages and Season 2…

The Quest for the Sunday Breakfast – Week 1
Since Annie’s Paramount Steakhouse in Dupont Circle has removed my favorite salad and refuses to bring it back – my friends Mark and Robert and I have begun our search for a new Sunday morning breakfast place. Our first stop, yesterday September 21st, was at La Madelline in Georgetown. We found parking immediately – it was 8:30 in the morning so you’d expect to… but Georgetown can be tricky for parking. It was confusing for…

Bailouts
I really hope that the Senate actually reads these bills before they pass it… I can think of several bills during the Bush Administration that they wish they didn’t sign … or at least I wish. READ THE BILL before giving him another 700 Billion dollars.

Federal Financing Recap
Ok, several “smart”, old, rich, (lets assume) white men made several bad decisions and gambles that have led their companies (AIA, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Bear Stearns) into serious financial trouble… And you’re going to use my tax payer money in billion… oh wait trillions of dollars to fix what rich old white rich men wrought? This is gonna help the economy how exactly?

R.I.P. Chuck Komperud
My sisters ex-husband died yesterday, his kidneys and liver finally failed. Chuck was a practicing alcoholic and a living example of how horrible life can get if you let alcohol ravage your life and your body. Reports over the years have shown him rarely sober, always a yellow tint to his skin and a distended liver. His disposition was never a nice one, even to the two sons he raised. It’s been almost 20 years…

Home is Where the Soul is
John’s parents apparently are taking his body back to Michigan, something his closest friends say he would never have wanted. This was such an odd thing John didn’t have anything written down to contradict that wish and grieving parents can be irrational. I’m not actually sure if he and his parents were close or not. I’ve always said, since I moved here that I don’t want my body to go back to the arctic wasteland…

Leftovers
At lunch on Friday, Mark and Robert joked about inheriting two more cats (John had two cats). I don’t actually know what’s going to happen to the two felines, but I hope they find a loving home. When I go, if Q and Mouse are still alive, I think Gary will likely take care of them – unless I’ve moved out cause I found a boyfriend and my cats are terrorizing him now. They only…
