Mmmm, kiwi. Is anyone else craving kiwi? It’s been a pretty low-key weekend around here. On Saturday morning, I shot this self portrait on the way home from our family trip to the puppy park with Bowser. It was pretty excessively windy outside, so there was only one other puppy out there — a blue-hound named Una. She and Bowser had a good time chasing and fighting over a long stick.

On Saturday night, we ventured out to the Argonaut, where we happened to be seated next to our friends Megan and Brendan and another couple they were out with. So, we combined tables and spent much of the evening looking at and spinning the old globes that are part of the decor around the upstairs bar. There were many “close-your-eyes-and-point-and-see-where-you-will-travel-next” attempts as the globe was spinning around. I tried for Paris of course, but mostly ended up somewhere floating in the Indian Ocean. So yeah, that didn’t help decide where our next travel destination will be, but it’s still fun to look at old maps anyways.

Today was work and homework day. I’ve stopped just long enough to eat Valentine’s Day candy and just now look through all the Grammy fashion pics. I think Lady Gaga will be done “incubating” by the time I post this. I hope so, anyways, for her sake.

Hope you all had a nice weekend!

These canopies at the NY Ave-FL Ave-Gallaudet Univ metro station look like they are competing for air rights. Funny thing is, water drips through the slots when it rains, rendering it less of a place to head for cover, and more of an area where you can play the “avoid-the-waterfall” game.

Welcome to Monday morning, everyone. Here’s a somewhat abstract photo from NoMa of a row of circular bike racks and of course their shadows.

…shot while exiting the metro at New York Avenue/Florida Avenue/Gallaudet University. This red line stop, which opened in 2004, happened to be the first in-fill station in the metro system, filling the gap between Rhode Island Avenue/Brentwood and Union Station.

Welcome, December! A photo of progress. And it looks like one building reaching out to the other.
