and so it begins

welcome! unfortunately, it's time for me to go to bed, so i'll be quick here. this is the start of my blog. yee and haw. i hope to add random observations about things in DC, specifically focusing on the built environment (and the being-built environment). i'm also hoping that, in time, some kind of a pattern and feel for my posting will develop, but for now, expect things to be haphazard, especially since i'm heading out of town for two weeks for christmas/new year's.
