We live in a fairly small house, officially it’s something like 1,000 square feet, unofficially it’s a bit bigger because the basement doesn’t seem to be counted as livable space. Throughout the years we’ve lived in apartments of many sizes and finally our small house. Since we love to read, we have lots and lots […]
Well, the deadline is approaching. On March 1st, there will be new issues of SFRevu, Gumshoe Review, and TechRevu online. Well, technically at the current time TechRevu updates immediately and constantly with new information but we’re in the process of making it a hybrid with a constant update of small items and monthly issue of […]
Besides really, really liking my coffee — I drink a lot of tea. A friend suggested an outing to Teavana at Tyson’s Corner, VA. So this evening we went.

Part 2 (the episodes shown […]
I just learned today when I read last Wednesday’s Washington Post Food section that I’d missed the Coffee Fest which was held from Feb 15 to 17th at the Washington DC Convention Center. On the whole it wouldn’t be that bad to miss but the paper said there’d be a contest for barristas to show […]
Mostly hung around and caught up on some housework. Walked down to the mailbox to pick up the paper and mail — not much today, mostly ads. I can’t stand to read the paper most days because it really bothers me to see American disappear into the sunset … but that’s a rant for another […]
