Excuses be Gone!

Not sure why it's been so long since my last post. Not like it's been for lack of inspiration. Guess I've just been focusing on experiencing versus reflecting, which is contrary to what being a writer is about and quite sad given the many amazing experiences I've been blessed with the last few months across the country and internationally. Thanks to NaBloPoMo (NAtional BLOg POsting MOnth), I'm inspired once again and February's theme is TIES so I'll focus on writing things I'm tied to, and perhaps if you pay attention closely enough, I may write about something (or someone) being tied up. ;-)

Happy February!

We Go Zengo

Whenever I need a pick-me-up, Zengo is the place to go. Every time I meet D, an old college friend who happens to work on the Hill, we have nothing short of an epic evening. Atmosphere is surprisingly clubby (given this is DC), but the Asian-fusion cuisine and sushi combinations are fun, the bartenders are fresh, and the clientele is -- well -- friendly.
