Bird Man

Since joining the fabulous Vida gym last week, I've been making it a habit to wake up early and hit the pool before work. For the past 2 days I've noticed a funny thing while taking my early morning walk. Both yesterday and today, there has been a man standing on the corner of S and 13th and feeding pigeons and misc other birds. And he is not messing around. He shredded at least half a loaf of bread for those guys. Weird. I wonder if I'll see him tomorrow...

On that note: Mary Poppins "Feed the Birds"

Could this be true???

A Waffle House just blocks from my house?

This could either be very good, or very, very bad.

Trattoria Italiano

After a nice afternoon at the zoo, Danielle and I randomly stopped in Trattoria Italiano for dinner. It was the best Italian food I've ever had. Strong words, I know. What can I say, homemade pasta just does it for me. In addition, great outdoor seating, the perfect portion sizes, and the appetizers were to die for. I can't wait to go back.

... And the people behind me got more than their money's worth

The wind tunnel at the bottom of the U St. metro's escalator is seriously out of control. I'm not a mathematician, but I would say the air is shooting up the escalator at at least 300 mph.

Note to self: not even knee-length skirts are safe from being blown up.

On a happier note: Love this song!

Baseball Season is Here!

Lots of red hats on the metro last night. About 98% of those hats had P's on them.

I thought the song went "root, root, root for the HOME TEAM"!! Sheesh.

Ulah Bistro: Brunch

I hit up Ulah Bistro after yoga Saturday morning for brunch. Open table has it listed as "comfort food"... I think that's a bit of a stretch – but it was delicious. I tried the "farmer's omelet" which was filled with mashed potatoes, red peppers and bacon. Yuuuum. (Ok, I realize that sounds like comfort food, but really, that's about as close as it got. They have goat cheese ravioli on the menu for crying out loud!)

We sat out on the patio which was great for the fresh air, but little else. It's right on U St. so we were surrounded by honking cars, metro commuters and tourists taking photos of Ben's Chili Bowl.
