Outpost 505

I am so very disappointed that my photos from tonight’s dinner didn’t turn out.  Janet, among others, has been on me for months to improve my use of our DSLR, and tonight’s photos illustrate her point – I have a great deal to learn and, perhaps more importantly, remember.
Since I have no usable photos, I’ll [...]

We saw the NATS WIN last night against the Reds!  After a pretty lousy first couple of innings, Belliard set the stadium on fire with a DINGER for his sole appearance in the game.  It was all good from there – the Nats came back from trailing by 4 to win 10-6.  It seems like [...]
