IN MEMORIAL OF A MORE MEMORABLE DAY

While others were at the beach, or in the mountains, whether enjoying frosty alcoholic beverages or intoxicants of more illicit varieties, I was stone cold here in Columbia Heights in front of my laptop just trying to get ahead, and by that I mean just barely managing to stay on top of things.

Looking back on happier, more inebriated times, I share without commentary some images from a not very solemn but profoundly patriotric ritual which I attended a little more than a week ago:





It was the first Nats game I've attended where they actually won, and all the sweeter, it was against the hated O's of Balmer (as they say around here). And ever since, they've been on a bit of a roll, their first all season.

This post is dedicated to the brave Washington ballplayers, who played ball so that my friends and I might yell inanities like "Go mid-Atlantic sports teams!!" and "Make noise!!!" (as per the request of electronic boards around the stadium) at the top of our lungs. Thanks also to the frosty beverages, which didn't hurt, either.
