DC's Jazz in the Garden
Blog: UnpoppedCollar - 9 August 2010
Sure, people in DC love to complain about how hot and humid it is here in July, but Summers in the District also bring something else: Jazz in the Garden. Every Friday evening, nearly every twenty-something (it seems) in DC heads out to the Sculpture Garden for a makeshift picnic-happy-hour. It’s hard to imagine a better way to start the weekend than this.

Blog: Abandon the Cube - 1 May 2010
I’ve always wanted to go to the Redwood National Forest in Northern California. While we were out in the Pacific Northwest, we decided that it would be the perfect time to go.

Washingtonians Believe in the End of the World
Blog: Abandon the Cube - 17 April 2010
What better way to spend the Armageddon, then waiting it out safely underground? Apparently I’m not the first person to think of this. Washington State is renown for its end-of-worlders, and recently I met someone who worked in construction, building underground shelters for folks who live in constant fear.

Lady in Lopez
Blog: A Lady in London - 7 November 2009
When my brother got married last November my cousins and I tried to decide which one of us would be next. We all ventured a guess, but as fingers were pointed, each of us denied it would be us. The actual answer came sooner than expected; one of my cousins in LA got engaged and planned a September wedding on Lopez Island in Washington.

Everyone loves graveyards! Right? Probably not, unless you’re the The Addams Family. But if you put aside some of the preconceptions associated with it like death and loss, you would see beautiful gardens where time stands still, a portal to a whole new world. Poetic!
