  1. You're neglecting the possibility that what you're seeing upon return are the locally cached version of the pages. Just recently had that happen to me as I was waiting to find out my presentation slot at a conference. The "updated" agenda had me presenting on the wrong day and I was starting to schedule meetings for the time when I am actually presenting.
  2. Ditto, but I got my first email address in 1993. Except gmail where I use my full name. And those damn sites where they require screen names to have at least 4 characters. On those I combine the dazzling creativity that I share with Adam and my love of 80s hip hop to go by "TheRealJPW".
  3. In 19XX I got a Quebec bus pass with my photo and a birth date that made me 21 a couple of years early. When questioned by bouncers in the states, I claimed it was an identity card because I didn't have a license. If questioned further, I started babbling in Quebecois. Never turned down. A truly great fake ID.
  4. to Peanut! For (too aggressively) getting in the face of a boy who was bullying other kids and got shoved to the ground before the teacher could step in. We need to work on your technique, but your instincts did the JPW family proud!
  5. Don't know if taking the express lanes yesterday from 66 to the end near Maryland saved me any time, but it certainly saved on the stress that playing Jimmie Johnson in the ultimate all series race that is the beltway at the end of a holiday weekend which typically turns me into a combination of Bruce Banner, Dr. Jeckyl, and Howard Beale behind the wheel of a Volvo SUV.
  6. Bells is available at the Chevy Chase Magruder's. That's close enough to Maryland for me.
  7. I thought that lth had shut down. Great to see it still up and running.
  8. The Cuisinart and stock pot remain in frequent use and continue to help make delicious food.
  9. Lynchburg The one time I ate at dish a few years ago I ended up getting into an argument with the owner after I mentioned that my pork chop was overcooked (as in medium well). His position was that it was the proper temperature for a pork chop.
  10. I just scanned through it and it's surprisingly positive. Usually the mom boards are filled with vitriol against anyone who doesn't see children as being the center of all life.
  11. I wish him the best, but I think that this is a massive misreading of the population of Del Ray.
  12. A decent beer, but I found it to be somewhat unbalanced. For me the malt overwhelmed the other flavors. I'd gladly take a higher ABV in place of the sweetness. If I'm drinking saison this summer, I think that I'll stick with the peppercorn saison that Three Stars is brewing.
  13. Au contraire. Horton makes a viognier that I'd put up against any. Tremendously food friendly. I've always found the main challenge to be getting ones that haven't yet received a mailing from AARP.
  14. Had the exact same reaction. Although I tasted a second bottle of the six that I bought to double check. The other 4 have been sitting in the beer fridge for a while now.
  15. This one's for you, Don --> FIRED!
  16. While small, the wine selection at Frenchmen's Corner is excellent and fairly priced. And a second recommendation to make a stop by Calhoun's
  17. I'm with you porcupine. My last few high end dining experiences have left me feeling ambivalent at best about the whole experience of high end dining. Maybe I could best put it this way -- I enjoyed the meal that I shared recently with mdt at Little Serow vastly more than I enjoyed my last meal at Komi. And at half the price.
