Guilty.

No speeches to give. No cupcake distribution.

Just relaxing and celebrating Alexandria’s 276th birthday!

WWII hero who escaped Nazi captivity dies at home in Alexandria at 103 | ALXnow James 'David" Bailey, one of the last surviving veterans of the Battle of the Bulge, died at home in Alexandria on July 5. He was 103 years old. Bailey was awarded two Bronze Stars, the French Legion ...

It was a thrill to honor Mr. Bailey in 2022, a one-of-a-kind Alexandrian.

He was one of the last surviving veterans of the Battle of the Bulge and a decorated veteran.

He was a humble hero who we owe a debt of gratitude.

Rest in peace, sir. Thank you.

My recent vacation read was Krystyn Moon’s “Proximity to Power.”

Professor Moon’s new book uncovers fascinating history covering a century and a half of the African-American experience in Alexandria.

Nice!

If you are like me and one of those people who calls 395 “Shirley Highway” or DCA “Washington National,” this is gonna be hard for you.

But I successfully took a new MetroBus route this morning and it worked!

The Marlins used 8 pitchers last night in a game that ended at 1 AM.

They’re on their third pitcher in the second inning and as you can see their options are limited…

Now you’ve gone too far.

Great to see you!

“National Landing” is not a thing. Stop trying to make fetch happen.

In 2019, I issued the first #LovingDay proclamation in Alexandria.

These days, the things I proclaim carry far less significance.

Pausing today to recognize the 58 years of Loving is also a recognition of the fragility of the rights we take for granted.

Love is love.

A $1.15B “remodel.”

Brand new arenas are quite nice.

That is all.

@xianfoods has come south to DC!

We grabbed our dinner from Xi’an Famous Foods at the “ghost kitchen” on Glebe in Alexandria last night.

So good…

It’s a holiday weekend and our passengers have places to go!

I grabbed the yellow vest off the shelf and I’m in Washington Union Station helping @amtrak.com passengers make their way around our nation.

Do Metro Stations get “Terrible Two’s?”

Enjoying the Potomac Yard Metro on the day after its second birthday.

It’s Bike to Work Day to all who celebrate.

Checking in at the Del Ray pitstop (and getting my t-shirt!) and then heading into the District.

Have a great ride!

The Pope's Condo in Alexandria Every house has a history but few can say that they were blessed by the Pope. There is, however, one Alexandria condo that can make the claim.

There's always an Alexandria angle on EVERY story.

I saw this plaque while door-knocking a few campaigns ago.

That time future Pope John Paul II visited Parkfairfax and blessed a condo...nearly 49 years ago. A great story:

There are some great moms in my life.

Celebrate the great moms in yours.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Yesterday: Cardinals in Rome name a surprise starter on the 4th ballot

Today: Cardinals in Washington knock out a lackluster starter in the 4th inning

Our long nightmare is over:

After far too many years, The Baseball Boat is back!

Old Town to Nats Park along the Potomac and Anacostia.

Let’s Go Nats!

This month the Potomac Yard Metro turns 2 years old.

18 of the top 20 ridership days for the Potomac Yard Metro were in February, March or April of this year.

Ridership is a third higher so far in 2025 than the same period in 2024.

It’s happening and it’s still exciting!

Our townhouse is for rent again--available on July 1.

20 min walk to PY Metro (15 mins if you walk like me. 8ish mins if you run like me.) 5 min DASH ride!

Walk to Mount Vernon Ave.

Friendly landlord!
