According to the Washington Post, one of the scientists at the National Aquarium, while discussing the new fish tanks, stated that "D.C. water is abominable. It cannot sustain life." His boss, mortified, tried to quickly assuage concerns that the water was unsafe for people by saying "it's safe to drink!" but the damage seems already done.

March is here! I have to say I'm excited to see it come. February was a difficult month in many ways...a breakup, changing jobs, fighting with the previous employer, having the flu followed by bronchitis and possible pneumonia. February had some high points, too, like a trip to California, and a growing experience.

March is starting well, with a sunny day albeit cold (though 49 isn't bad). I have a job that I'm thoroughly enjoying, and even though I work more hours and travel farther I feel more productive and important in the overall scheme of the company.

Here's to March as a good month!

After several days with a flu bug, I'm back up and running. Expect to see some election-related writing and some other stuff coming in the next few days!

Well it's flu season and I have it...I think I caught it from work or something. Small fever, runny nose, headache, oh the fun of December! I'd ask my mom for some chicken noodle soup but somehow after spending five days in a box it just wouldn't be quite the same...

But I guess the good thing about having it now is that I'll be healthy for Christmas! Home in 10 days!
