PSA: Idle Time Books
Sometimes I think there’s a place you’ve just got to know about and my Public Service Announcements (PSAs) will give you the full skinny. With a few minutes to spare after lunch in DC, Albert and I stopped into Idle Time Books, the store in Adams Morgan selling old, rare, and out of print books.…

The Diner – DC
In New York, diners are both common and cherished. In DC, they’re not so prevalent, so I was happy to discover The Diner in Liz’s Adams Morgan neighborhood. Everybody needs a 24 hour diner experience and I’m happy I was staying right around the corner from one AND that it happened to be a better diner…

Book Review: Everybody Rise
New money will NEVER be on equal footing with old money. And you can be rich, but that’s not the same as old New York society rich. Now you’re talking wealth of a whole other level. If only Evelyn’s mother understood that it’s a social circle you can only be born into. Perhaps then she would not…
