“Dear PoPville,
Long shot, but were you riding on the Mount Vernon Trail Sunday (11/6) around noon?
You: An outgoing (and cute!) biker who took a water break on a bench near the Navy-Marine Memorial. Late 20s/early 30s man, black shirt, blonde hair, and piercing yet kind blue eyes.
Me: A shy (and glowing*!) runner who was taking some shots / enjoying the view. Similarly aged woman, blue crop top, kinky-curly brown hair, and a rather charming dimpled smile (if I do say so myself).
You initially stopped your ride to offer to take some photos of me, which I instinctively refused. Appearing rather deflated, but definitely still intrigued, you then asked me how my run was going, and remarked on the brilliant weather. After barely mustering a mumble, I *literally* ran away to avert your intensely warm gaze. *cues Enrqiue Iglesias – Escape*
About 10 secs later, I realized I missed the moment. About 10 mins later, I finally worked up the courage and circled back. My move would have been to ask for a photo, and invite you to join it, but you had already disappeared!
Lesson: MEET THE MOMENT! Life is way too damn short to not go for gold.
*Perspiring profusely trying to keep it cool”

We’re about a month out from summer. That means you’ve still got time for spring cleaning!
Lexi Grant, an operations manager at Well-Paid Maids, shared her go-to spring cleaning tips with WTOP News. Step one? Declutter. Get rid of items you don’t use, find space for items that need a home and organize those areas.
Then, it’s time to dust. Lexi starts with high-touch surface areas (think: refrigerator, dishwasher, counters, microwave). One area she sees often neglected is the bedroom — and it makes sense. Heavy furniture is difficult to move around, but it’s important to really get in there so dust doesn’t affect your sleep.
