Suggestions for spending your time in DC: For starters, stay away from tap-dancing Senators in bathrooms

Some of you have asked for suggestions about how to spend your time in Washington, DC. Our updated To do in DC page lists some of our favorite museums, monuments and memorials, cultural outposts, outdoor activities, restaurants, and, yes, bars.

We also added links to DC-area media and the weather forecast, in the DC-info block on the far-right sidebar. Of course, if you have any questions, feel free to send us an e-mail.

The time for the West Virginia-East Carolina football game that Saturday is no longer TBA; kickoff is at 3:30 p.m. 12 p.m. The Wake Forest-Maryland game time, however, is still pending 3:30 p.m. as well.

Oh yeah—we’ve updated our prenup recently too.

Meet a wedding guest: John H. The Fifth*


In the next few months we’re profiling all of our wedding guests. Check back to see what we write about you.

John H. VBecause Margaret is too close to the subject matter, we deemed it best for me to write about her older brother, John. Furthermore, as we all know, Margaret is hyper competitive, but no matter how much she clenches her fists, stomps her feet, and constricts her extremities, she will never be first when it comes to birth order in her family. I didn’t think she could be objective about one who’s bested her.

The first night I met John, he and his brother-in-law Chris fed me a Jell-o bowl (you’re probably more familiar with the smaller, smoother, subtler version called a Jell-o shot). As I was driving my parents’ new car that night and didn’t want to submerge it in Canobie Lake, they were gracious enough to let me off with just a few nibbles.

The next drink John gave to me was a few months later; it was a glass of vintage 1998 Dom Perignon. He was drinking it to wash down a hot dog (albeit one topped with caviar). Would you expect anything less classy from the former West Virginia University homecoming king? (”I always thought it’d be one of the girls,” John’s dad said upon witnessing his son’s ascension to the throne.)

Ladies, as of this writing, John does not have a date for the wedding. Margaret and I are working on an application for single women to submit to John. Why would you want to be this man’s date?

  • He travels regularly to such international hot spots as Milan, Paris, and Oklahoma.
  • He has an impeccable sense of style, as proven by his dimpled double windsors; assortment of lotions, creams, and salves; and $200 flip flops (two pair).
  • He has established lineage. He’s “the fifth” for crissakes! How can anything that’s the fifth not be good? Ladies, haven’t you seen Police Academy 5: Assignment: Miami Beach?

Anyway, if you are interested in learning what John thinks of himself, check out his MySpace page (but first turn down your subwoofers).
