This week in Washington DC the weather was fabulous. Sunny and in the high 60s/low 70s. On Wednesday Kelly and I took Tessa for a long walk around the Tidal Basin where the cherry blossoms are all in bloom and everyone is celebrating the National Cherry Blossom Festival.
Hi Ho! Hi Ho!
My last week of leisure. For quite a while I’ve been spending my days going to the gym, lunching, exploring neighborhoods, working on Chicagoist, going to museums, cooking, hanging out in coffee shops with wifi access: taking it easy. Today I’m going out to Virginia/DC to visit Kelly, Jeff and Tessa. Kelly is my fellow “woman of leisure” right now while she’s on maternity leave.
Next week my current lifestyle is going to change bigtime when I start my new job at FeedBurner. I think it’s right about time. It will be good to be productive again and I’m really excited to be a part of such an exciting company. I know there’s a lot to learn and I have a lot to contribute as the position will be a little writing, a little design, a little front-end development and in the blogging industry – it’s like a perfect blend of everything I’ve been doing in the past 6 years. And everyone I’ve met there seems really terrific. Seems to be a really great team and a great environment. I’m psyched!

Elizabeth Kostova on Writers on the Record With Victoria Lautman
Victoria Lautman & Elizabeth Kostova, Magnificent Mile, Chicago
Since I’d had so much fun when Frank McCourt was on Writers on the Record with Victoria Lautman, I decided to see this month’s guest, Elizabeth Kostova. She’s the author of The Historian, one of my favorite books last year. Kostova took 10 years to write this book and it was interesting to hear how it came about and all the work she put into it. Also, I’ve emailled with Victoria Lautman but I hadn’t met her in person. I saw her hanging around the lobby before the show began and took the opportunity to introduce myself. Totally cool.
A Neighborhood Walk: Roscoe Village, Damen Avenue
Does anyone know what park this is on the corner of Damen and Belmont? At first I thought it was Hamlin Park, but that seems to be farther south.
