Running Fool
We cheered on our friends Matt and Christina as they ran the Marine Corps Marathon yesterday. They are total studs! Watching the mass of people of every age and body type really inspired me. So here is my official announcement: Next year I am going to complete a marathon. Now that I've let everyone know there is no backing out. So feel free to ask/bug me about my training.

ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz
One of our challenges with the move is being back in an apartment where we share walls with neighbors. Our building is 70 years old with really squeaky wood floors and we have a nocturnal upstairs neighbor. I can sleep through most of the activity but Eric wakes with every footstep - especially when our neighbor is doing laps around the room above our bedroom. We've tried leaving a fan on to create white noise and it does help muffle the sounds but between me waking every few hours to use the bathroom and our neighbor, Eric is not sleeping so well. I've thought about slipping Nyquil into his dinner drink but I'd like something a little less habit forming. So I'm putting a call out for help - any suggestions?

Clap, clap, clap-clap-clap, DC UNITED
Saturday night we watched DC United play Chicago Fire. I've never followed MLS but I think I could be a United fan pretty quickly. Although the game was scoreless there was plenty of excitment and the fans were the best. A packed stadium, rabid fans with flags, drums, cow-bells, smoke-bombs, and organized chants. I thought I was back at a World Cup game. It was great! I didn't realize there were such soccer fans in the US. For the next game I'm painting my face - or at least wearing DC black.

Trees, Orchids, and Dog Bites
Molly got attacked by a German Shepherd while running with Eric on a trail this weekend. The result was a visit to the emergency vet but luckily no stitches were necessary. She's doing fine - I think the worst part for her is having to wear an old t-shirt of mine to cover the wound. She's so embarrassed but I keep telling her it is better than a funnel collar.
Monday we went to the National Arboritum with the McArthurs (who just happened to move to DC a few weeks after us). 450 acres of every kind of tree you could imagine. Eric likes to stick his head in Banana trees for some reason. I loved the bonsai collection - they had a white pine bonsai that has been in training since 1625. The arboritum had an orchid exhibit and there were vendors from all over selling amazing orchids. We picked up a couple to add some color and oxygen to our apartment.
