This bottle has a long and venerable history. My dear friend Brian brought it home from Ireland for me at the end of my Senior year at Georgetown. I promised I wouldn’t open it until I’d finished my PhD, so I carried it around from place to place for seven years. Then, in the fall of 2004, after I’d finished and come to CHNM, Brian and his wife and I polished a fair portion of it off in my living room. Since then, I’ve had the occasional drink. But, tonight it’s gone, in celebration of yet one more hurdle in the early career.

Here’s to the long road of revisions. May all the Irish poets whisper in my ears.

A stunningly empty Metro station, particularly give that the place was packed at 3:00.

Let it snow

Golden beets, yum, yum, yum.

But, I bought the regular kind.
