History in the Making Part I

This inauguration morning, Taylor and I braved the weather, fatigue (up 'til 2am, up at 5:30am!) and of course the CROWDS here in DC. Top left is a shot from our perch halfway up the Mall facing the Capitol building. We were too far away to see the face of the new Prez but the sense of hope and change electrified the air!  Bottom right is a picture of the early morning mass exodus of non-ticket holding 'general public' being zig-zagged around the city (and much to my tunnel-phobic dismay, through the I-395 tunnel by foot.)

Part II

Part III

My good friend Toure from Berkshire. It was so great seeing him the night before the inauguration. He was in town from NYC. We joked and laughed  as if we were 14 again. Then I realized we'd known each other for more than half our lives and it seemed appropriate to share this occasion with two friends who I know I'll have forever. 

Holiday Madness!

What possessed us to celebrate the craziest, most thrill inducing, scream infested, mountain of wrapping paper holiday with not just our own two monkeys, but SIX more?? I'm not exactly sure but it's what we decided to do with my family on Christmas - and it was a blast. Behold to the left, a small portion of the living room after Santa descended upon 147 East Road.
