Now if you don’t have a glider or a good chair for your porch you may try this route: the Hammock. Perhaps the most underrated from the outdoor “furniture” family.

One drawback, it is difficult to have your morning coffee in it… However, an afternoon bottle of Budweiser is no problem at all.


So which do you prefer, neon house numbers or stained glass house numbers?


This is the evolution of last week’s house that was white. And now its, beige with green trim and a brick top. Brick top, that guy was a sweet actor, what movie was that? Ah, Snatch that was the movie. Anyway, are they going to paint the third level? It sort of looks like a compound now, with the fence off to the side.

I suppose if the neighbors are particularly upsetting some measures may need to be taken. What are your thoughts?


So this is a new building that went up in the U Street neighborhood. What do you think of the modern architecture? Does it work next to the more traditional rowhouses?
