Update

Guess what? I actually bought a new lap top. Get this: it doesn't arrive till mid-August. So, what does that mean? My blogging shall be limited.

In brief, life in DC is muggy. It has been raining the last few days which has been music to my ears. I've been craving a good ole pounding rain storm, the kind that starts with distant thunder, bursts of lightning, sheets of rain, and continues on with the constant din of rain drops throughout the afternoon. Water is soothing ... Too bad we don't have a jacuzzi on the balcony!

What else? I reconnected with an old friend from NYC last week. I finally got together with my friend Tara who moved here two years ago for work. We once bonded over JFK, JR, at our company Christmas party. Tara also is an awesome writer and funny girl... she took improv classes in NYC and even put on her own show. I think what I loved best though was her character, Mr. Goldman Sachs Firewarden, based on a company newsletter circulated after 9/11.

Anyhow, it is wonderful to reconnect with old friends. They remind you of a certain part of yourself... My years in NYC were sweet and formative, but they seem so long ago now. And, boy, I seem to be a different woman now. Wiser, I certainly hope!
