Somebody tried to blow up Shep!

Explosions on Denison's Campus

Okay, so the "explosions" in questions, were likely 2-liter bottle bombs made with dry ice, but still. I used to LIVE in that building, about 30 feet from where those went off. Creepy. Not cool.

On Chefly Business

I read an article this morning that Tiff sent me, it written by Mark Furstenberg, who runs The Bread Line over on Pennsylvania Avenue and serves a variety of sandwiches and soups and salads that are unique, tasty and inexpensive. They are without doubt the best $10 lunch place in the town. I absolutely adore their french fries and their sausage sandwich.

For a while, when I worked at WestLake up on Eye St., life was pretty miserable. I wasn't getting paid jack, I had to be the first man in, and often the last man out, I was getting up before 6am to get on the Metro and be at my desk well before we opened so I could set out the bagels, the drinks, the workbooks and texts and the sign-in lists. It was boring, menial and crappy.

But every once in a while, my boss Dan, who didn't like working there too much either, and I would walk down 18th to Penn and turn up toward the White House. We'd get the sausage sandwich, served with marinara and red peppers and onion on a ciabatta roll, and their home made, properly done french fries with home made ketchup, and have a divine lunch. Sitting in that restaurant, in the back room, or in the front on the sidewalk, for an hour each week, I'd love life. And for that, I had Mark Furstenberg to thank.

Now, go read his Journal for this week.
