Some lion cubs, since you aren’t working anyway
Now that all the National Zoo’s lion cubs have reached the 12 week mark and had their checkups and vaccinations, they’re being allowed into the outside portion of the lion enclosure for a short time each day, usually between 12:30 and 1:30. Since winter is upon us, weather may restrict their ability to go outside [...]

Send some good vibes to Councilwoman Mary Cheh who took a spill over the weekend and had a dislocation fracture of her arm and will need surgery to repair the damage. It’s a tough time to be a jogger, between uncleared sidewalks, slippery conditions and cold weather. [...]

Drama of the magnitude seen on Saturday at Verizon Center does not often happen when the Wizards are involved.
First, Gilbert Arenas, the enigmatic scorer and chaotic former face of the franchise (hello John Wall) gets traded to Orlando. Then the feel-good story of beating LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and the Heat [...]

Last night a streak was broken in basketball. Unfortunately I’m not talking about the Wizards’ current losing streak. Their sixth loss in a row (13th on the road) ended an eight-game losing streak for the New Jersey Nets. The 97-89 loss did have one silver lining: another great game for backup [...]

It’s the time of the year when there are holiday parties a-plenty and it starts to look a little like Groundhog Day. Not only do you have the same conversation with a guy in a stupid Santa tie about how a Kindle is pretty much the same thing as an iPad, [...]

It has not been your week, Donovan. First, there’s that whole, “losing streak/Redskins season all but over and everyone’s blaming you” thing. Then, you just want to enjoy a basketball game and these local fans won’t let you be, booing you. The pickle on your crap sandwich? Rex Grossman, according to reports, [...]
