Photo realism

I can’t seem to find words eloquent enough to describe the emotions I felt a year and a day ago. Perhaps some of you can’t, either.

Voters across the nation woke up Tuesday morning, went to their local polling precincts and learned the results later that evening or read about them the next day. But things were different in the District: While we know who probably didn’t win the Democratic mayoral primary, we don’t know who did.

With a relatively small amount of money?say, a few million dollars?I could easily start a small institution focused on training students for a specific range of careers. But that wouldn’t be any fun, because trade schools don’t usually have real sports teams.

Beirut 101

Some call it beer pong; others refer to it as “beirizzy in the hizzy.” You can call it whatever you want, as long as you acknowledge that Beirut is the best game, ever. we ex-high school jocks can’t get enough of it.

The Sports Sermon
