United House of Prayer Parade - Washington, DC
As we get into the throes of summer this photo popped up on my screen today to remind me of how Summer 2016 kicked off...stay cool.
Lucy Dacus - DC 9 - Washington,DC
I first heard Lucy Dacus sitting at NPR waiting for a Tiny Desk Concert. Our host, Bob Boilen had seen Lucy the previous evening and giddily played "I Don't Want to be Funny Anymore" post taping of the guest - I just remember sitting there shocked with this song. Well I had the chance to see her last night at DC9 and it was AMAZING. For some reason I think this will be the last time we ever get the chance to see her in such an intimate venue.

United House of Prayer Memorial Day Parade - Washington, DC
Each and every Memorial Day weekend, the United House of Prayer holds a parade that goes throughout the Shaw neighborhood in DC. For years I thought it was what was "wrong" with the neighborhood...a symbol of a church taking advantage of the needy. I was wrong.
While I am not a fan of a few of the churches in Shaw, this event reminded me that part of a community is what this is truly all about...
