Just tidbits about money and finance.

I broke down and bought a sub for lunch on Thursday. ($4) Then I went to meet the PF Blogger crew for happy hour ($21). Try as I might to rein it in, I leave a big tip and I try to ensure people are never shorted on the bill, especially after they complain on [...]

Without going into details, let’s just say that I lost all of last week’s posts and blog entries. ALL OF THEM. That totally sucks because I had about 10 things written up which are gone now. Since system maintenance schedules are part of what I do, I’m pretty cheesed off right now with no recourse. [...]

Last night we met at Fado in DC. It’s an Irish bar down near the Verizon Center aka The Phone Booth. I was reluctant to wear a hat so people could recognize me, but James from DINKS Finance convinced me that a hat was essential so I wore my Washington Capitals camouflage hat. CleverDude just [...]

Plonkee came to DC for a visit. CleverDude was kind enough to pick the venue in Chinatown where we could have homemade noodles. I loved it. It was cheap and soupy and wonderful stuff. Total dive with roaches and all, but damn if the food wasn’t excellent. I will definitely eat there again, if only [...]

Nick of Punny Money was our fabulous host (boys can be fabulous too!) on the Red Line Metro. Cleverdude was also in attendence as well as Mrs. Micah and one of my friends who had a question to ask, but never got around to it. He was too busy telling me dead baby jokes of [...]

I love the Washington City Paper. I was at the Yarn Harlot book signing event last night. As I waited for my friends to get their books signed, and deliver her a beer, I flipped through the paper and found a lovely ad on page 49.
