Odds and Ends from the Born Again Blogger...

Summer is upon us (well until the Summer Solstice) and I am enjoying the nice new weather after a May full of a lot of rain! Unforunately, I have been a little lax about blogging over the past 6 weeks so I have some interesting news and notes for my blog ...

1. In early July, I will become a boss for the first time! I know it sounds crazy but I am very much looking forward to passing on the perfect balance of hard work and being obsessed with aviation to a recent college graduate!
   
   
2. Facebook.com is really a great website but I am starting to reduce my introductory obsession with the website. Where else can you waste time by putting buttons on a digital bulletin board, look at interesting photos of your friends and update everyone on your daily status. Don't get me wrong, I still love the site but I am trying to reduce the effect it has on the rest of my life.
   
   
3. I have been really trying to perfect some cooking skills. Karyn and I love to cook, it's just the pre-planning recipes after a long day at work which becomes hard. I will tell you what I am super obsessed with. The Crock Pot! I had to squash some of Karyn's worries about leaving on the Crock Pot on during the day but we have moved past that... Also, I finally cooked (successfully) my very first fish dinner. Turns out it's pretty easy. Special thanks to my sister-in-law Lisa for getting me on track. See the photo of tonights dinner Tilapia cooked with pineapple salsa. Yum!
   
   
   
   
4. Last Thursday, I was working away at work when a very surprising email popped into my inbox from a Joshua Pincus. Turns out Karyn's long lost second cousins have been searching for her side of the family. Josh lives in Chicago and his brother (get this!) lives 4 blocks away from Karyn and I in downtown Silver Spring. This has been really exciting for Karyn and Risa and we are looking forward to getting to know the extended Pincus family! Part of the internet search that led to Karyn actually went via Concourse H - I knew there was a reason for doing this blog!
   
   
5. I have been already to the new Nationals Stadium twice and I have to say - the team may not be good but the food is really good. The hardest part of the going to the game is deciding what to eat! (hamburger, chicken fingers, kosher knish, etc.) Life is full of tough decisions...
   
   

So there you have it - Concourse H is back from it's Spring Break! Enjoy!
