That is so funny! I also grew up in D.C. Near the stadium. Hey! I was a part of those nuke targets. :-) Then we moved to Riverdale in my teens, not too far from silver springs huh? What a small world. Michael

Did you watch the Daytona 500 today? Amazing how those cars run within inches of each other at 190 mph. And no gun fire exchanged like in LA. The idea that what you do with air has me kind of a fan. 190 and hit another car or a concrete wall and walk away, unhurt, no government mandated air bag. Last year the feds made the Super Dome take down the Marlboro pennant because it might be shown on TV on the Super Bowl. No tobacco ads on TV. This race had Winston cigarettes all over it. Does Nascar have more cajones than NFL Football?

Hi Lather, we spent the afternoon looking at open houses in Annandale, both inside and outside the Beltway. My husband has been commuting to Crystal City for ten years, and he is very excited about the idea of moving so much closer to his job. As for me, it is very disorienting to think of moving inside the Beltway, or even just outside it. The last house we looked at was just inside the Beltway, six acres and an old but large house in so-so shape, built in the 1950's or 1960's, they were asking $450K, which was much more than we want to spend, but I was thinking we could sell four acres, or build a custom house on one, live in the old house until it is done, then sell the old house and sell the rest of the acreage. He said no. Every time we look at houses, we have a major fight, so this time, I decided, ok, if he says no, drop it. Think I should drop it?
