2010 St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Washington D.C.

I support the “observance” of St. Patrick’s Day in Washington D.C., I really do. I think liquid medicine is just about the only remaining course of action up on Capitol Hill. (Besides, under current healthcare, it’s the only medicine most everyone can afford). I want all the Senators, Representatives and of course Mr. Obama [...]

First Night Alexandria – New Year’s Eve near Washington D.C.

It took a group of yuppie Bostonian artists to take something as wholesome as drinking oneself into mild dementia on New Year’s Eve and try to replace it with art. No drinking, no awkward hugs, no upended Jeeps. Believe it or not, people still got behind it.
That was 1976 in Boston, and ever since, these [...]
