[Ed. note: This entry submitted about 6 photos or so but I’m afraid I can only post the first one, hopefully you can get the gist of this great entry from this picture. Winner announced Feb.22nd!]
“Home is my favorite place in the city. More specifically, the
Underdog Corner is my favorite place at home. It’s humorous, leafy
and bright. It just makes me happy.[Entry continues after the jump.]

These pictures belong to a series is a photos taken every day of a dog
pumpkin on a table. It chronicles the pumpkin’s life span from a fresh
jack russell o’ lantern to a puddle of pumpkin pudding. If my former
roommate Erin is reading this — I’m so sorry about your farmhouse
table. I hope that this art project gave it a trendy distressed look!

This velvet oil painting is from my grandmother, who bought it from
her artistic neighbor in Taiwan. She liked it so much she brought it
to America and I inherited it. We hung it over our electric panel but
left the bottom of the panel exposed as a title plaque. Fittingly, we
named him Sparky.

This is our dog. He was an hour away from meeting his maker at the
animal shelter before we rescued him. He’s very sweet and is a
world-class lounger, as you can see. He loves to laugh and take long
walks. One of my favorite things is to ride around Petworth while
Trotsky jogs along.

This portrait of Boston Terrier puppy named Tofu is by artist Jeff
Faerber. The portrait was part of a photo project — a day in the
life of Tofu in New York. There are photos of him going to the dog
park, getting “I Heart Mom” written on his hinder in a tattoo parlor,
and living life to the fullest. Although he’s a born and bread New
Yorker, Tofu loves DC and intends to stay.

My dad brought me a flower pot he said would be perfect in the
Underdog Corner, but I had no idea why a striped-sweater wearing
Tyrannosaurus Rex that’d fallen on its face was appropriate. When you look closely, you can tell that it’s a dachshund in a sweater. The
dog bookends, painted by artisans in Tijuana, Mexico, were a gift from
my boyfriend.”

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
