My History (8/96)




Monday, August 26, 1996:Well, here we are again on a Monday. I missed most of Saturday because I was up late Friday (8/23) so I feel I lost this weekend. We went to dinner Friday at the new Cafe Atlantico, good looking place but food was fair and service was not so good. Then we went to the 'Fox and met up with Pam C. and Paige and Bernie and Paul. Then we all went up to the new Havana Village on Columbia Road. That is always a fun place. After there, we ended up after hours above Sheba Cafe on 18th. We got out of there about 4:30AM so that's why I was wiped on Saturday. I was up for only an hour or two for the entire day. Just long enough to go to Java House for breakfast at 3:30 in the afternoon. And I don't even drink anymore! Just don't bounce back like I used to.

My wife Pamela and I rode bikes on Sunday (8/25) up to the Georgetown Flea Market. There were some great bargains but we're very broke right now paying off the honeymoon. Then we rode back down the hill and got lunch at Teaism on R St. at Connecticut. Awesome place! After that I was tired (again) so we went home and did some housecleaning then I napped. We then went out to dinner at Mediterrean Blue with our friends Bob (a.k.a "Blob" as Jill likes to say - he is nowhere near anything even remotely resembling such a term literally; Jill just uses it as a term of endearment and its slowly sticking, sort of like a blob!) and John. John is leaving Wednesday to start his PhD studies at York University in England, so it is the end of an era here in D.C. That restaurant is always great, good food and fun. We then topped off the night at the Fox.

For Labor Day we may go to visit Pamela's friend Donna up in Ventnor, NJ. Her family has a beach house mansion on the boardwalk about 30 blocks south of the casinos in Atlantic City. I love southern Jersey, its gets a bad rap but it is gorgeous up there. Atlantic City is a hole but we don't go there. The "Monopoly" streets are neat to see, though.

Well, hopefully we'll get out of town. I love the going. Some of the honeymoon pix are now posted here for you'all to enjoy!
