happy birthday!

 -

today is mann's birthday: i think he is twentynine again...we started at hotel monaco, just us two, then ended at cava in a group: everybody loved my gift: a fabulous ugly christmas vest which rocked! people on the street let it be known it was cool! 

we laughed and laughed.

sauca high tech food cart

while having a few cocktails at poste in the hotel monaco, i spied out the window the saucamobile, the latest mobile eatery to hit washington dc's streets. combining a taquieria with a truck is not a new concept, but sauca is apparently a complete lifestyle brand that will fulfill my every need... i can even make international calls from the republic of sauca's pay phone: wonder if they have the number for the fojol brothers of merlindia. the saucamobile has been getting great reviews from patrons so i am looking forward to trying it...especially the fish tacos.

a day in the life...

so yesterday was such a stellar  day in dc, cherie and i decided to get out. it started with the premise of pancakes and martinis at open city in woodley park, followed by a metro ride to the portrait gallery and smithsonian museum of american art.

we HAD to cap that off with lavender margaritas at hotel monaco.

maybe the hirshorn next week?
