Couple of nights ago a friend and I went to Salt in Rosslyn for the first time. Fabulous cocktails! My fav was the G.O.A.T, a goat fat infused vodka cocktail. Also had a fizzy drink on fire and mushroom gnocchi.

Ok friends, I'm doing a group presentation on a business management book for my nonprofit leadership class, and I've created a character called "Egon Tuckerberg" to demonstrate bad ego-driven leadership. I've used AI to help introduce this character. Which fake magazine cover do you like best?

Holy forking shirt balls. My family home (Valdosta & Lowndes County GA) where I lived a dreary chunk of my life is Trump +18 solid Republican for 40 yrs despite also having a state college, just had an absolute Democrat blowout for local municipal elections.

I've been working on my weight since September, and I'm excited that I am down 10 lbs since I began, now at 178 lbs from my original "skinny with a belly" 188 lbs. I now weigh less than I did in spring 2023. It's a third of the way towards my goal of losing a total 30 lbs.

Flashback to last year's Halloween, when I was your to-do list. It was a great "interactive" costume that got the crowd at Brass Rabbit and Spider Kelly's really involved.

While doing research for a paper, came across this golden oldie from 1982 on Clarendon's sector plan. Some things never change. "'... at the same time [toward] preservation of the surrounding single-family neighborhood,' said William Gearhart, president of the Lyon Village Citizens Association"
!["It was a good step toward redevelopment in Clarendon, and at the same time [toward] preservation of the surrounding single-family neighborhood," said William Gearhart, president of the Lyon Village Citizens Association, which joined with four other neighborhood groups in backing the proposals of the Ballston-Virginia Square Citizens' Coalition.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bvceb2ec6zdh4jijxl3hatfx/bafkreighjandm2mqk6msggbkzldyxonfw2blbck274eck2ctqylzmbcb7a@jpeg)

Rev. Alice Rose Tewell shares the tragedy of Clarendon Presbyterian Church's noble yet failed attempt to build almost 100 homes for seniors just 5 minutes from a metro station. $400,000 down the drain because of zoning and opposition. We need Yes in God's Backyard! #urbanism #YIMBY

Easily one of the best concerts I've ever been to. Tonight was my 3rd live show of My Morning Jacket. Jim James, Patrick Hallahan (also did an awesome one-off album with other artists called Spanish Gold), & rest of the band were phenomenal. The technicals & sound engineering were peak. Love & hope.

Here's the new addition to my plant stand by my window: a small African Violet from Nall's Produce! I needed a pop of color in the room. I'll try repotting into a bigger pot soon.

HUGE variety of pumpkins, gourds, and other plants at Nall's Produce in Springfield. I bought a bunch of ornamental gourds for a windowsill decoration and an African Violet for my plant stand.
