Nicotine and Vodka

Last weekend Jill and I were waiting for a bus near the Dupont Circle Metro exit. A whimpster-looking guy got off the Metro and started walking toward us. He was in his early-20s–sharply dressed and sporting carefully-tussled (and most likely highlighted) blonde hair–and as he got closer, yapping on his cell phone and staring into the distance, he said to whoever was on the other end:

“Okay, I just got off the Metro and I desperately need nicotine and vodka.”

Nicotine and vodka. That’d make a great band name.

Weekend Happenings

Jill arrived on Friday and we had a good time that night at Wendy H.’s house. Photos here.

Then on Saturday night we saw the Washington Nationals beat the NY Mets at RFK stadium.

And yesterday we went to the zoo.

Great weather. The pandas were cuddly and fat–did you know those SOBs eat 40 pounds of bamboo a day? My favorite creatures, however, were the capybaras. Charming in a repulsive sort of way. I just figure they’re so ugly they MUST have great personalities.
