Just a few of the happy reminders that I'm back in Washington:
* Celebrated Armenian Christmas (again) on Monday at the Armenian Embassy, with an Armo soprano's recital.
* Marked a friend's birthday dinner at Cactus Cantina. Apparently we weren't the only ones who thought the place appropriately festive. From last week's WashPost: "Laura Bush, Condi Rice, Mary Matalin, Margaret Spellings and Harriet Miers at Cactus Cantina for a surprise birthday party for Karen Hughes. A dozen Bush administration power babes gathered at the Tex-Mex restaurant for fajitas, enchiladas, quesadillas, margaritas and chocolate cake with a "classified" number of candles. (Hughes turned 50 on Dec. 27.) No word on how many hot chilies Miers ate, but she announced her resignation yesterday morning. Hmmmm." According to the waiter, I share my taste with Condi -- we both had the chicken fajitas.
* Overheard a public policy student on the bus to Georgetown talking to a friend about his morning on the Hill: "Well, you know I'm from Illinois, so there was this coffee thing and we were chatting with Obama."
* At a work lunch at Palm, spotted Mary Matalin's husband James Carville taking a seat a few tables down.
It's good to be back.

Still in D.C. trying out a new job with my newly minted graduate degree, a tidy little apartment, a rather large (and not-so-tidy) man. And yet, still itching to see the world.

Saucy name dropper!
I'm going out for a friend's birthday tonight too. I expect to see such famed dignitaries as the Karaoke Guy, that bouncer from The Lodge, the dude who shows up everywhere, and Drunken Tall Chick.
Ah, Drunken Tall Chick...she's a fan favorite.
