Riding the Metro (July 4, 2008)
Riding the metro was a blast! I’m not sure who enjoyed it more: T because he was no longer afraid. J because he could navigate the adventure. S because…well, just because, or G for the people watching. We had to Regardless, here are T and S standing on the Orange Line having left the Dunn-Loring…

Dr. Who? (July 4, 2008)
We disembarked the metro at Foggy Bottom and began our hike to the Lincoln Memorial. The boys were road-hardy this day, but we gave them a rest at the gift shop, choosing to sit at the outside tables and enjoy ad peanut butter sandwich and water. Henry then said, “That was Dr. Lowe that just…

A Briden All Forlorn (January 19, 2011)
Reading time: 1-2 minutes. Mr. S is AMAZING!!! Seriously, this kid is just a gifted speaker. We have speech club in a couple of days and I decided that he should recite a poem since he gets so frustrated with the current stage of his reading skills (has the heart to read War and Peace,…

The Ultimate Search Engine (January 16, 2011)
Over the Christmas holiday we watched a few episodes of The Bloomberg Game Changers. (Yes, we’re nerds.) Anyway, pretty good biographies about business folks who have impacted the flow of business, social culture, and economics in recent history. The stories of Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft were featured, of course. I was impressed with the story…
