Back in DC

Post-Paris means unpacking, doing laundry, organizing photos, returning guide books to the library, and trying to convince your body to sleep according to this time zone and not one that's six hours away.

We started Sunday with breakfast at the
Saints Paradise Cafeteria, the restaurant beneath the United House of Prayer for All Peoples on M & 6th in our neighborhood. Not heart healthy, we nevertheless enjoyed the long thick bacon and the fat juicy sausage, good basic pancakes and the sweet smiling service. Best of all - their "main ingredient is love."

We ended the day with dinner with Wisconsin colleagues, Peter Blewett of the Milwaukee School Board and Chris Pfund of UW-Madison. Circle Bistro was delicious. The restaurant is in the One Washington Circle Hotel near George Washington University and the Kennedy Center. We all got their three-course pre-theater special for $37: green salad or carrot soup, trout or hangar steak, mango crumble or pistachio puffs.

Anne's looking forward to Mimi's fabulous corned beef and cabbage tonight for St. Patrick's Day dinner up in Rye. I'm heading there to help pack for my parent's impending move.
