Triumphant return

First, I must apologize for the lag between posts. I know all of my two readers have been waiting with breath bated, which means they have either suffocated or are at least suffering from respiratory problems similar to the ones I am just recovering from.

Second, winter is in full-swing here in the District. Limbs of city trees, covered with a thick layer of ice tinkle in the street light and Eskimo poseurs risk their own limbs and life walking and/or driving through slushy streets. Yes the deep freeze is on and much like the economy the social scene around here seems to have frozen to a halt as well. Ergo, I've gone back to haunting cozy old favorites and drinking gallons of thick bog-like bocks, strong ales, etc. Beers you can sink your teeth into are one of the only reasons to forgo moving to miami.

On the bright side, if I do want a cold drink I can save on the cost of ice.
