I took M.j. on a walk in the snow today. I wasn’t sure how it would go. She loved it. The snow is light and fluffy and she was loving the time to run around in it.
We stopped by Wagtime at 9 & N NW to drop off her paperwork. I lost control. She now owns a winter coat. She also has a new harness. She was choking herself with her collar when I would try to take her out to poo and pee.
Tomorrow she has a doggie spa day. She needs it. Her hair is getting out of control.
I recently got a notification via Facebook that my 20 year class reunion was happening this year. I am not sure how 20 years went by since those awkward high school years. Seriously, I guess I have done a lot, but I really need to look at what the last 20 years has been spent doing.
Time to take some inventory of what I have accomplished and accept that some of that time has just slipped away and is better off that way.
How many people have went to their 20th reunion? If you didn’t go- why not? Should I look forward to this?
I have been bugging “R” to let me get a dog for as long as we have been together. A couple of weeks ago, a neighbor in our building posted a notice that he needed to give up his pug. “R” pointed it out to me and said if she was still available, we could look at her.
She was still available. The owner agreed we could take her and then changed his mind. (That’s a different post). A few days later he came back and changed his mind again. Since then M.J. has been living with us on a trial basis. Hopefully, within the next day or so, M.J. will be officially part of the family.

It’s official. Owners received their letters announcing the first annual meeting to elect the board. Owners also received this email today from the building management. This is good for condo sales in the area.
“On 12/3/09,Yale reached the 75% sold mark, triggering the 90 day countdown for the election of a new Board of Directors and the transfer of control from the developer to the Association. As a result, the 1st Annual Meeting of the Association will be held on Thursday, February 18th, at 7:00 pm in the lobby. The meeting notice was mailed to all Yale owners on 1/22/10. The purpose of the meeting is to elect the 3 members of the Board of Directors.”
I liked it. Don’t hate.
This is an abandoned building on the 400 block of NY Ave. NW.

The Inauguration of Barack Obama
This is a photo I took at the inauguration in January 2009.
This is a photo I took near Brsec, Croatia. I am trying to learn some photoshop techniques. I don’t use photoshop much. The attempt here was to apply an infrared look.
The snow arrived in D.C. with a show of splendor. Of course, I am on the Eastern Shore just outside of Ocean City, MD. We did not receive much snow here at all. Mostly rain, rain, rain. Of course, we head back to D.C. today and have been checking in on the roads and the comments of people online about the snow.
I have noticed that whenever it snows in D.C. it brings about a sort of superiority complex among people that have transplanted here form regions that get snow more often than D.C. does. I fall into this category, as I myself moved here from Chicago.
It doesn’t take long to think- What are all these people whining about? Why is everyone driving 5 mph? Why is everything closed? Of course when, we get down to it, human nature tells us we should find ways to relate as superior to others. I have to admit, as I reflect on it, a major source of pride should not be able to drive better than someone else in snow. Blogs are filled today with people proclaiming how “Washingtonian’s are babies!”- “I grew up in Alaska- this is nothing.”
Well- Washingtonian’s enjoy your youth. And don’t worry about anyone that grew up in Alaska. So did Sarah Palin. For all of the snowfessionals (snow professionals) out there, gather up your local friends and build a snow man or have a snowball fight. Of course, keep your snowball fights under control. D.C. police officers like to show up to snowball fights with guns. D.C. police officers are not after all “snowfessionals.”
