It's Alive!

My iPhone died last night. I pressed all the buttons and called it from another phone, but nothing would make it stir. It just stopped. It had plenty of battery left -- I had just charged it. I came home and thought if I synched it, it might start again. It synched, but did not come on. I saw all the data was still on it, but it was DOA. I searched on the Interwebs to see if anyone else had the same problem. They did. I saw directions to hold both the top and lower button in together for about 5 seconds and it would reboot. Five seconds passed and nothing... then suddenly... a Christmas miracle! A small apple appeared on the black screen and after a few minutes, it came back to life. Don't scare me like that iPhone!

Holiday Wreath

We bought this at Eastern Market. I added the bow though -- I'm very
crafty.

Our House

This is our house on Capitol Hill. We had it painted a few months ago. It used to be a horrible shade of yellow, but we like the gray much better.

Our Christmas Tree

Cactus I mean.

Old Friend

I ran into an old friend in Old Town Alexandria. He told me be just
got a new job that starts soon.

Scottish Parade in Old Town Alexandria

We happened upon this parade while shopping today. We wondered why
all the roads were closed.

Union Station Christmas Tree

This tree was donated by Norway. You would think they could afford to
buy one. They were selling all sorts of Norwegian stuff around it,
including the canned seafood below.

Fishballs for Everyone!

Starchy Dinner

I got a roasted chicken at the grocery store and made some Stove-top
stuffing and nuked some mashed potatoes and corn. Too starchy? I
need to go on a diet.

Our Last Show

The third and last show of the weekend starred the amazing Estelle
Parsons, (Roseanne's mom on her sitcom). We like musicals better, but
this was good--but long.

All My Sons

This was kind of a downer. It didn't have a strong emotional effect
on me. Lots of big stars though.

Go Billy!

This year's best musical, I am willing to bet. I loved it!

Empire State Building

Were going to go to the top, but the wait was more than 2 hours. We
passed.

Real New York Cheesecake

Mmmmmmmm

NYC Pizza

Not as good as typical NYC pizza, but we ate most of it.

New York City!

This is where we ate Thanksgiving dinner. It was yummy.

Happy Thanksgiving!
