DC
Washington is no doubt one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The last time I was there, I went on one of my epic walks –six Hours!!! The city was so gorgeous I just found myself walking down streets, through parks, pastsed monuments. When I finally came to, I had walked all the way out to Chevy Chase. So this time around, as I headed out, I made a mental note that I had to control myself. I also brought my phone and some money, which is something I don\’t normally do, but realize too late that I might want to jump in a cab or maybe phone the hotel to ask them where I have waondered to. I rarely bring maps as welleither. I think I am just reacting off ofto having all my time being so overscheduled that I just for a brief period want the feeling of having no strings. But maps, phones and money all come in handy when you have no idea where you are.
The hotel we are staying at, the Helix, is great since it\’s close to iconic D.C. and yet in a real neighborhood. To my utter delight, we are around the corner from a Whole Foods. I have toyed with the idea of putting it in my contract that my hotel must be only .5 miles from a Whole Foods since, whenever I have access to one, it makes my week. I can make my own salad, pick up some homemade soup and a great bottle of wine, -bring it back to my hotel and watch \”Sex and the City\” re-runs. BLISS!!! My favorite experiences while in D.C. are a toss-up between Ben\’s Chili Bbowl and Etete, the Ethiopian restaurant. I loved Etete. Bbecause of supreme luck, I got to sit right next to some men from Ethiopia visiting their family. We all hit it off immediately, and all the men acted like the camera\’s and big lights shining arewere not even there. So instead of another scene of me eating alone, I joined their group, learning how to eat Ethiopian food from the pros.
The food was soooooo good, too. I was a bit disappointed that I ate so much on camera though, since we as a crew were eating there for dinner, as well. I always try to eat a little on camera so that I can really enjoy it off – -after all these years, I am never that relaxed when eating while the camera\’s rolling. I am always scared that I am going to dribble something down the front of me or choke (which I have done many times, they just edit that out). But the kind men kept feeding me, and I wasn\’t about to turn down that type of hospitality.
Ben\’s Chili Bbowl, shot the same day right before Etete (thank goodness no bikini scenes are in the near future) was amazing, since being a family business, we were made to feel a part of the family immediately. Shooting an institution is always tricky in the travel- show biz, since we want to show the daily ins and outs of an institution but obviously the big camera, a audio man putting mic\’s on everybody and holding a boom, and then me can really change people\’s behavior. No such problem at Ben\’s. Even though they serve the famous half- smoked hot dogs, they are all hams. And wonderfully so.
News info…
I was reading the news and I saw this really interesting information…
The Trick Of Getting The Very Best Deal For The HDMI cable. This HDMI cable is in fact actually great, it has so many characteristics as well as features.
A while back I was undertaking some analysis on the best selling and advocate anti aging creams obtainable available, and it literally blew me away how a single item made the leading selling and top suggest product lists time and time again, across a dozen vendors as I checked and rechecked what creams and items looked most promising in a from time to time confusing and ever developing anti-wrinkle industry.

The very points that you (Drew) raised in the article about another stakeholder seem to me an extraordinary development, especially in seeing how essentially two fundraising organizations for the same institution, will co-exist. While the final arrangement will reveal quite a bit, the process for arriving at that conclusion and the specific reasons that proposals were accepted or rejected would be a fascinating tool from which many of us could learn a thing or two. If there is anyway that this blog can be a conduit for such information (the theories involved, not so much the specific applications to Jacksonville), I for one would be an appreciative reader.
Right here is the perfect website for everyone who hopes to understand this topic. You know so much its almost tough to argue with you (not that I really will need to…HaHa). You certainly put a new spin on a topic that’s been written about for a long time. Excellent stuff, just wonderful!
Everything is very open with a very clear description of the issues. It was definitely informative. Your website is very useful. Many thanks for sharing!
This is a topic that is near to my heart… Thank you! Exactly where are your contact details though?
