my random ramblingsan infrequent (and these days, mostly Mira related…) blog

saw Vicky on Saturday at her salon, then hung out in the city before dinner at Roditys. met Nazar at the beach on Sunday morning to exercise, then did some shopping with Лена around town. back to DC in the morning…

flew out to TX from DC with Лена on Monday night for 2 days of meetings. in the office on Tuesday prepping for the Wednesday interviews. Looking forward to some much needed sleep.

slow day, spent some time walking around the city and did some shopping. took a 3 hour nighttime segway tour around the mall and city. lots of fun – first time riding one, hope to do it again sometime soon. controlling the urge to not go out and buy one… 😉

freezing rain, eventually turned to snow. went to the American History and Natural History Museums, then stopped in Chinatown on the way back for some food. diner at the Buddha Bar, then headed up K Street for some late night entertainment.

been working and staying in Chinatown. interesting part of the city, enjoying getting to know it better.

flew out early with Лена and arrived into DC early afternoon. walked to the White House, then later in the day to the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial. sushi for dinner, as usual.

Nazar’s birthday party on Saturday night, and a little bit of craziness at his house. picked up a new iPhone for Лена on Sunday, then grabbed dinner at Russian Tea Time. first time there – especially liked their homemade vodkas, ended up with a few glasses of their cinnamon variety.

hung out with Alexa, walking around downtown. met Kyle and Alexa later for a nice dinner in Greektown. great to hang out, been way too long…

back at our office in the Reston Town Center prepping for tomorrow. drove into DC after dinner, great to be back in the city and looking forward to spending some time here over the next couple of months. got to watch the Brazil – Mexico friendly and so nice to see Ronaldinho back playing for the national team.

up at 2:30 am to catch a flight to Dulles. first time at the Reston Town Center since the Baan days. very long day…
