The woman found in the laundry room was in Adelphi, Maryland, not Washington. Sadly know this as it was local news.

I cannot look at the photo of this guy without thinking he’s actually an enormous pug dog in a robe and glasses.

In the DC area, it’s likely to get stupidly dangerous on the roads very quickly, and the request has gone out for people to stay off the roads. I imagine 99.9% of our likely delivery joints will be closed in the next few hours. While - as a native of Jersey who knows a decent pie - I am ashamed to say this, I ordered…

The Who were supposed to play their “The Who at 50" tour date in DC on my 50th birthday back on November 1st. I hope Roger’s health has improved a lot, and that the tour happens. It seems like death is hungry for icons right now. :(

I used to run into Diane Rehm in the tiny lobby outside the studios at WAMU when I did commentary for Metro Connection. She was always so nice to me, a total stranger, asking about the pieces I wrote and being very encouraging about my efforts.

Eat me, Tantaros. In the afterlife, my mom, a member of the Women Airforce Service Pilots of WWII, and her fellow veterans who struggled with sexism and bigotry and sometimes outright sabotage on the job SEVENTY years ago will be waiting to kick your ass. Sick of crap like this.

Shoot, dude. If there was such a thing as a "Kazakhstani Orthodox Pastry Festival," I'd so be there. If it was a Georgian Cheese Pastry Festival, I'd be there even faster. #KnowYourRegionalCarbs

I like your dad! And I miss the days of going through the Sears catalog — especially in the late 1970s - to find the Star Wars Kenner exclusive toys for which I would beg and harangue my mom for months.

One of my friends in southern Russia found her home phone number had been printed in regional time tables as the information line for the local train station. She and another friend became fabulous pranksters, and they orchestrated some things so elaborate, they'd take folding chairs and snacks down to the train…

A lot of the comments on this post make me a little sad, just like the demise of handwriting makes me sad. Astounded that people describe voicemail as rude in general.

From the syntax, 4G63FTW!, I'm assuming you are not a native speaker/writer of English. Your writing looks a lot like that of some of my non-English-native European friends. If I'm wrong, I'll be surprised. You did not come off very well here, and that may be a linguistic issue.

I'm very glad you brought this up. That woman was screaming for her life while being savagely attacked (over 300 wounds on her body) for a prolonged period of time. My only experience in that specific Bethesda Row Apple store was suboptimal, and the Lululemon non-action still fills me with so much disgust I can't even…

See, I thought I was the only one watching "Rubicon." I have a pile of questions on that one, too.

I've been using dishes and flower pots from IKEA as office storage for ages. Cheap and cheerful.

@zjmuse:

I use these all the time — there are additional discounts that sometimes come up on Borders Rewards, and you can use extremely small numbers of United frequent flyer miles to get their certificates, too. You do need to be attentive to details (is it lunch or dinner only? how many people? minimum orders?) when you…
