WNBA playoffs and the start of hockey season. I never need to leave my couch. Excited about Aces, Liberty, and Wings. And the 3-0 lead for the Caps home opener so far.

Yesterday, in my car full of hispanic/latino teen boys, my son said, “Mom- can you tell them what you do with City Council?” My dream has been realized. One actually works for Rec. They appreciated my Flock camera discussion. The work is slow, but steady.

Sometimes it seems like people think no one on the west end bikes. But despite the at times hostile lack of infrastructure, people are biking and scooting. Out of choice and and out of necessity.

I pulled this card in an Equinox series about protection. Waulking means rhythmically beating tweed against a hard surface to soften the thick woolen cloth. Looking forward to connecting with my sister witches to speak the truth and beat down the patriarchy.

ACPS says walk zone reviews lacked educators who could judge whether a 5-year-old can walk to school

Morning ACHS school run- 25 minutes round trip. 1 kid at Minnie- 1 kid at her job. We saw 5 students biking or scootering. In a bike lane when there was one. On the sidewalk when there wasn’t. #streetsareforpeople

These same people are speed running a ballroom and an arc. LOL.

$16 million later, the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was supposed to be open by July 4. Instead, it looks like this.

Hey @beckyhammer.bsky.social! I was at PT today and they put on Bad Bunny. Did you hijack their playlist?

First dropoff at Minnie this year. Saw some empty spots in the lot. Smooth and easy. Looked messier coming from the east. They will figure out a hack.

I just dropped Rosie off at Handy Bikes and I miss her already. She’s getting tuned up and any other nips and tucks. Kinda teary eyed. But beers and running into friends at Port City made up for it. A little.

He raised an amazing family, especially Kristin. I will be there to celebrate him and his legacy!

Dolly Parton’s America is a great podcast to learn about this amazing icon. P.S. There also is a mention of Alexandria’s Historic Christ Church.

Someone decided that today was a good day to drive around the Capitol with a guillotine in their pickup truck

Best hair- dirty moussey oily hair dunked in Long Island Sound and then dried in the wind.

It happens almost every day. A shooting, a fire, a development project — described as occurring in Alexandria when the address is actually in Fairfax County.
