"WHY MARCH 27, 2014 IS 25 YEARS LATER: In the Miss Twin Peaks episode, Doc Hayward welcomes the audience with 'I hope you've had a good weekend', which sets the pageant on a Sunday night. In 1989 and based on earlier dates mentioned in the show, that would've been March 26. The final episode, Beyond Life And Death, continues the same evening and later that night we see Cooper enter the Black Lodge. A new day arrives in Twin Peaks as Audrey Horne pays a visit to the bank. If you think March 25 is the symbolic date, then how do you explain a bank in a small town being open on a Sunday? So later on Monday, March 27, Sarah Palmer meets Major Briggs at the Double R Diner right before we go back to the Black Lodge where Laura tells Cooper she'll see him again 'in 25 years'. That night, Sheriff Truman finds Cooper and Annie unconscious at Glastonberry Grove. The next morning, March 28, Cooper wakes up and realizes he didn't brush his teeth for a while..."    source: http://welcometotwinpeaks.com/news/#ixzz2xmnmf8if

Realized or found out about more babies arriving this summer.  Caught mild baby-fever excitement.  Mental note to work on more mobiles and baby gifts.

riding on the metro

all drugged up and ready for a long metro ride

@the Black Cat

Arlington dinner with Kara and her girlfriends.  Immersion into yuppie NoVa culture odd; sample view of mate selection deemed lower level.  Conveniences of area noted, namely walkability, but overall lameness agreed upon by the Bakers.  

Ben's Fairweather show at the Black Cat in DC.  Ran into an old schoolmate, our former high school newspaper co-editor.  Engaged in spirited conversation about male vs. female dynamics, relationships, and semantics.  And high school gossip.  A blessed bonding realization that I was not alone in my complete and utter naivete regarding the prevalent drug abuse at our school.  

At 35 I finally realize the value of shooting the shit at bars.

class of 1997 impromptu reunion!

cheers!

these guys

it was indeed that kind of night

ay yi yi

That afternoon, running out the door as we left for DC, I could not find my digital camera's battery; in my haste to leave I grab a Polaroid in its stead.  The bar scene is befuddled by the film camera.  A young man wishes for a relic souvenir for him and his girlfriend.  They stare at the shot the camera spits out for them.  I tell them it takes a while to develop; it's not instant.  The young man is excited, talkative, over-eager; his girlfriend agreeable, blonde, pretty.  I give them their picture and wonder how long they will last as a couple.

Josh and yours truly

the sweetest Redskins umbrella that ever existed

Brunch on a rainy, cold, and windy Spring day.  We meet friends at an Arlington spot with a Louisiana theme.  Parking sucks, but the food and drink is good.  A metro ride to our car and then back to Bel Air, Josh hungover, but willing to drive us back to our cozy homestead.  Very happy and thankful to spend time with friends.
