The taxi picked me up from the house at 10:30 AM. When the seatbelt didn’t work, I smiled and reminded myself it was Friday the 13th. Naturally, I got to Union Station without incident. I had a business class seat on the first leg of the trip from Union Station to Penn Station in New…

Yet another Friday the Thirteenth is here, the first once since May 13, 2005. I’ve always wondered why Friday the 13th is considered a day of misfortune, just as I’ve wondered why builders label the 13 floor of a building as the “14th” floor (as if anyone is really fooled by this). Wikipedia has a…

I met AJ for lunch today and we headed over to Noodles. I don’t think AJ had ever been there before, but I recommended their macaronni and cheese with chicken because it’s outstanding. I think he enjoyed it. I got the “large” by the way and wolfed most of it down without too much trouble.…

It was unusally foggy for the DC area this morning–for any time of year–but especially, it seems, for winter. It’s not that cold out so that dew point must be up there.
