I took a quick jog down to the White House last night, not to shoot this blurry, ghostly, holga shot (it’s an old one), but just to get in a quick jog and see what was going on at the Obama house. Not much to see once the sun goes down, but it is still elegant in the evening nonetheless. And the weather has slowly been getting milder, so the streets were pretty packed with people, anxious to be outside without needing 4 layers of bundle to keep warm. spring fever!
Yesterday we participated in the WABA and Embassy of Sweden sponsored Vasa ride , which kicked off at the embassy in Georgetown. We opted for the leisurely Kort Vasa at 14 miles, a trip that took us through all four quadrants of the District. For the more adventurous (and well-trained), there were the 56-mile Vasa and the 28-mile Halv Vasa. Honestly though, we were sold upon the promise of hot blueberry soup at the completion of the ride — and it was well worth it. Click for more pics of the event.

All I can think about is Maryland beating duke last night to tie for first in the ACC, and so therefore I only have enough brain capacity to just pull an old photo from the holga archive and post it with little or no relation to college basketball. blue devils suck! GO TERPS!
But for those of you not yet in the March spirit, it’s a shot from creeping around those ridiculously tall towers in Tenleytown, which I can only assume are for radio. And upon a quick google search found that I am right about that. What do they have to do with the Cold War? You can read about it and see some other photos here.
Today at 8:30 am, DC began accepting marriage applications from same-sex couples . A big step in the right direction for equality and my congratulations to all of those who will be able to take advantage of this new law.
