DonRocks Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 To everyone on this website who volunteers at DC Central Kitchen. And, especially, to DanielK for his tireless efforts at organizing DCCK Night. THANK YOU DANIEL!
lperry Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 To my 1992 Bridgestone MB4, an amazing bike which got me to and from class during grad school, all over Payne's Prairie, along the Katy trail, across the W&OD, to the C&O canal, and, until today, was still all original. The chain blew on yesterday's ride, and today it looks like the bottom pulley on the rear dérailleur is shot, hence the broken chain. I guess you can only baby them so long before you have to get new components. Maybe I can get by with just the pulley...
leleboo Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 To Stella Elise Spector, born this morning. 6 lbs, 22 oz, 19 inches -- my "baby" cousin's new daughter!
Mrs. B Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Dan Schorr. I'll miss you on Saturdays with Scott. You were a 1st class journalist.
goldenticket Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Dan Schorr. I'll miss you on Saturday's with Scott. You were a 1st class journalist. Me too One of those voices I've heard all my life that I will miss very much.
Halloween Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 To Beerman, who died 3 years ago yesterday and was born 43 years ago today. Thanks for the good times, the laughs, the love, and so many memories.

leleboo Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 To the Americans with Disabilities Act. Celebrating 20 years of advances in accessibility, without which many friends, classmates, and colleagues wouldn't be able to participate in what we sometimes consider the most mundane aspects of everyday life.
JeffC Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 To a friend who died last night, after a long and painful decline due to cancer. As one friend put it, "...he was able to maintain his sense of humor and face it all with grace". Godspeed....
DameEdna Posted August 3, 2010 Posted August 3, 2010 To Morrie Yohai, inventoin the of the Cheez Doodle. He passed away at age 90. The glow-in-the-dark snackfood Hall of Fame would be nothing without him. The orange fingers were a small price to pay.

DonRocks Posted August 4, 2010 Posted August 4, 2010 To Liesel Flashenberg, founder of Through the Kitchen Door, truly one of the best people I have ever known. This is very upsetting to me - I had met Liesel a couple of times, and really liked her.
lperry Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 Here's to the power and tree crews that spent the day in my neighborhood. You are more appreciated than you know.
KMango Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 Here's to the power and tree crews that spent the day in my neighborhood. You are more appreciated than you know. Seconded. (these are all neighbors) (my house & car emerged unscathed) (luck of the draw...)
lperry Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 Seconded. (these are all neighbors) (my house & car emerged unscathed) (luck of the draw...) Glad you are OK. We drew an Ace too - I wish I could say the same for all my neighbors.

leleboo Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 To the geeks at Crackberry.com who gave me the Star Wars imperial march ringtone for free. I have that! And my default is the Doctor Who theme. Wheeee! This post is off-topic and will self-destruct in two minutes.
zoramargolis Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 A lager in fond remembrance of Carolyn Jensen Chadwick, a modest, self-effacing genius who conceived and produced "Radio Expeditions" and much more great audio journalism during her long career at NPR. She was a friend and neighbor, and when offered something to drink, always asked for "beer--the lightest one you've got."
goodeats Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 To what, in this case. RIP Caffe Florian. I shall miss the late night hangouts and memories.
legant Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 The Chilean miners and their families. Dah-um! Christmas?

Rovers2000 Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 Stephen Strasbourg - It was electric for about three weeks. Cross your fingers. Ditto. May we raise another glass in 18 months time...in celebration of his return.
DonRocks Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 To my cousin Robin, and to my dear Uncle Jim, whom I'll be seeing this evening for the final time.

Halloween Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 To Sue, who was so full of light and joy she could barely keep her feet on the ground. Cancer, to put it mildly, I do not like you. Go away.

The Hersch Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Tony Curtis--gone finally, perhaps, to the castle of his foddah.
DonRocks Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 To William Lessne, DDS, whose entire staff bent over backwards to be SUPER nice to my mom this morning. (And if you guys ever need a GREAT dentist ... click.) [Yes, I know, I could devote an entire forum to (non-food) professional recommendations here. And don't think I haven't thought about it: Open for everyone to read; posting only allowed by members of a certain tenure; positive recommendations only. Hmm ...]
leleboo Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 To Dr. Fred Kushner ... because if you're going to be someone's right-hand-man/Girl Friday, and give up your Sunday and your day-off-Monday because no one else you work with can meet their deadlines, it's a lot easier if he appreciates your work, and if he's right there plugging away with you all day on a weekend. Here's to the treatment of STEMI and the throw-down still to come.
LauraB Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 To Carla Cohen. Long live Politics & Prose. The city just wouldn't be the same without it.
lperry Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 To my Aunt Helen, a beautiful human being who will be sorely missed.
hillvalley Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 To Carla Cohen. Long live Politics & Prose. The city just wouldn't be the same without it. To Eve's mom and Mark Furstenberg's sister.
KMango Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 ...And, in case anyone is curious, I finished the Chicago marathon (my first marathon ever) in 5:44:14. Woo hoo! Good thing, too, after all that food... To bettyjoan! This cup's for you.
Sthitch Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 [Yes, I know, I could devote an entire forum to (non-food) professional recommendations here. And don't think I haven't thought about it: Open for everyone to read; posting only allowed by members of a certain tenure; positive recommendations only. Hmm ...] I love the idea, I have often thought about sending out a bleg on the help wanted for something non-food related, but having a running list would be even better. I do think that a little explanation as to why the individual/group/company is being recommended should be required. Oh, and good job Bettyjoan, though I think that my thighs and nipples just chaffed thinking about running for almost 6 hours.
lperry Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 To bettyjoan! This cup's for you. Hear, hear! Congratulations!
dcs Posted October 16, 2010 Posted October 16, 2010 Barbara Billingsley aka June Cleaver. I still enjoy a good episode of Leave It To Beaver.

bettyjoan Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 To homeownership. Yeeeee!!! Congratulations!!! We are closing on our first home in a month - I will certainly be happy for the whole process of buying to be over (so I can start the process of enjoying). Thanks to all for the congrats on the marathon - it was an amazing experience. This weekend, I have been drinking to my sister and her husband, whose awesome wedding left us with enough overstocked beer and wine to be happy for quite some time (as I hope they are in their marriage).
DanielK Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 To my wife, who completed her second marathon today! [and to gnathrobed, whom I also saw along the course]
SeanMike Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 To all the folks who I met last week in Portland (errr, week.5 ago, I guess) and whose names are all running together. What an amazing group of just great folks. Now to continue trying to talk them into coming to DC...
hillvalley Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 To everyone who voted: those with taxation and representation and especially those without.

ol_ironstomach Posted November 6, 2010 Posted November 6, 2010 Congrats to Nico Hulkenberg on a phenomenal Q3 session today, which pretty much guarantees that he'll be the most nervous driver on the Formula One grid tomorrow.

JPW Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 Dino di Laurentiis - Grandfather of the lovely Giada and the man who brought us the best quote in movie history "Conan, what are the three greatest things in life" "To crush your enemy, to see him driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women" RIP

qwertyy Posted November 16, 2010 Posted November 16, 2010 Beer. Lots of it. To a second week without gas in my apartment, to my fireplace imminently being torn out of my wall, to fundamental structural problems, and to the bloom being officially off the homebuying rose. Whiskey soon.

To a second week without gas in my apartment, to my fireplace imminently being torn out of my wall, to fundamental structural problems, and to the bloom being officially off the homebuying rose. Whiskey soon. That is not a good introduction to home ownership. Enjoy the whiskey .
goodeats Posted November 16, 2010 Posted November 16, 2010 To a dear friend who has experienced a close loss.
Rhone1998 Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 To Louis. Little dude, we can't wait to start asking for a table for three.

Michael Landrum Posted November 23, 2010 Posted November 23, 2010 To my nephew, Costi Caset, who this Friday won the 1st Annual "Copa Valentin Caset" (the National 18 and Under Championship Tournament, re-named this year in honor of his older brother, somewhat of a polo prodigy who played his first professional tournament at age 10 and who passed away not quite yet one year ago). This on top of winning both "El Intercolegial" and the Under 20 Championship Tournaments back-to-back just beforehand as well, all while still 17. Never will "levantar una copa" have such meaning, and never will a young man be so honored as by this sweetest of all brothers whose only thought ever in life was to live up to his idol and hero, his big brother--a big brother whose every goal and effort was for them to play side by side. Santa Paula Cup (El Intercolegial) - Polo By Garrahan "The champion, Costi Caset, surrounded by girls, as usual..." http://www.polobygarrahan.com/english/eventos.php?id_evento=43 (You might have to thumbnail around a bit...) One more...
Lydia R Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 MSG (P) Mark Morgan - 'cuz I'm not sure which is more remarkable: pastry or 6 Ranger deployments in 10 years.
Xochitl10 Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 To my dad and to Mary Ann Luby. Two good souls, gone too soon.
JPW Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 My first toast tonight will be to the great Ron Santo. RIP.
Bob in SS Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 My first toast tonight will be to the great Ron Santo. RIP. As my first post, I will say I also will be raising my glass to one of my two baseball heros growing up, Ron and Ernie. RIP!
squidsdc Posted December 7, 2010 Posted December 7, 2010 Elizabeth Edwards Ditto. Last night, the reports said she had "several months." This morning, the news was reporting "several weeks." That in itself was shocking to me, so I was really taken aback to hear the news just now when my husband told me.
bookluvingbabe Posted December 7, 2010 Posted December 7, 2010 Ditto. Last night, the reports said she had "several months." This morning, the news was reporting "several weeks." That in itself was shocking to me, so I was really taken aback to hear the news just now when my husband told me. Ditto. Making A Really Strong Drink once the little guy is asleep.
LauraB Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Another drink to the memory of Elizabeth Edwards. I had the good fortune of meeting her when she came to WAMU last spring. She left a very strong impression as a truly sincere and compassionate person. She seemed genuinely grateful for our conversation. I am very saddened by this unexpected news.
Barbara Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Elizabeth Edwards Can I say just how much this news sucks ventworm nuts?
DonRocks Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Can I say just how much this news sucks ventworm nuts? Well let me be the first male to chime in and say that John Edwards was a fucking scumbag for abandoning his wife when she was sick with cancer.
Mrs. B Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Well let me be the first male to chime in and say that John Edwards was a fucking scumbag for abandoning his wife when she was sick with cancer. Hope you are not the last Rocks. Ms. Edwards was a very strong woman and she deserved better I think. I will keep her children in my thoughts. My deepest love and sympathy to all of us that have had to deal with cancer either personally or with a loved one. I am now raising one to you.
Mrs. B Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Hope you are not the last Rocks. Ms. Edwards was a very strong woman and she deserved better I think. I will keep her children in my thoughts. My deepest love and sympathy to all of us that have had to deal with cancer either personally or with a loved one. I am now raising one to you. Dang, this is #500 for me. Thanks Don, for making a place where I have felt so very welcome for the last 5.5 years. I am very grateful for all that you worked so hard to create here. So I'm raising a glass of my favorite plonk which is much less than you deserve.
hillvalley Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 /raises her glass and clinks with Mrs. B/ (She was one of the first official members here, joining the day the board started.)
