jazz festival

it is friday and it really couldnt be more beautiful than today here in the nation's capital...a perfect day to walk the dog (done) or sip a martini at a sidewalk cafe, i mean bar (it's five o'clock somewhere)...and maybe some cool jazz at a dc jazz festival venue. some performances are even free!

draconids meteor shower for date night

inspired by the president and first lady, i struggle to come up with some brilliant plan for weekly date night with the mister, which actually hasnt happened yet, but will soon, i am sure! so, my idea for tonight is pretty budget-conscious, especially for me. i thought i could meet him at his office in georgetown around 5:15 (now!) we could cruise down to the kennedy center's millennium stage for a concert by the russian throat singers (?) the khogzhumchu ensemble @ 6:00: sounds a bit odd, but i am game for anything! i picked up some yumminess from whole foods: if the winds die down after sunset, i thought we cold walk toward the mall in front of the lincoln memorial and have a picnic, followed by front row seats at the draconids meteor shower. better grab a jacket!
