I spent a summer during college taking care of ostrich that my parents had in our backyard. Learning how to maneuver through 50 or so of the dumbest creatures God's ever created prepared me well to navigate my life in Washington DC.

Now the people here are no ostrich to be sure, but it definitely helps having some outrageous experiences in your life to make you realize what you currently have.

Which is of course, a world not having to feed ostrich at 6 in the morning.

I have long since been removed from my ostrich ranching days to grow up a responsible, respectable adult.

My biggest disappointment is never reaching six feet in height, but I'm still young, and try not to let obstacles get in the way of my dreams.

I like sports, but for some reason all of my teams are terrible. Except for the Nats. According to Sports Illustrated, we are expected to win the World Series this year. I will be in section 110 for about 30 games this season. If you like going to the ballpark, drinking a few beers and watch baseball, the seat right next to me is open!

Please, by all means, take a look around and let me know if there is something I can help you with!

I just finished my first half marathon in March. I'm still keeeping up with my training, so my week is spent running 30 minute tempo runs on the treadmill, followed by long distance runs outside on the weekends. I can't figure out which I like more.

Running in the gym, basically in place, trying to figure out what to look at, (do I watch the tv? What time is it, where's the clock? Look at yourself in the mirror, STOP looking at yourself in the mirror, it's weird and people are noticing you checking yourself out) but realizing you only have 15 minutes left before you can head out for a beer.

OR, on the other hand, running through a park, dodging puddles, making sure I acknowledge every other runner I go pass with either the requisite head nod, or thumbs up. Then there's trying to remember where the turnaround is, and realizing you have to run back to your car, so you can get that beer. Even if it's 10 in the morning.

What do you think? I think I'll go with the park, because at least if I slow down my pace, I don' have to worry about falling off and banging my head and having everyone in the gym laugh at me. If I fell outside, nobody will notice, except maybe some deer, or squirrels. I stopped caring what squirrels thought of me years ago.

Also I'm moving to Capitol Hill in a week or so, and I'm glad to be back in the city!

Explaining the similarities in the Lincoln Memorial and the Kennedy Center and what makes them different than the Jefferson Memorial.

My eyes, and my straight teeth. Thanks Mom and Dad!

I pretty much like all books on Lincoln, (have yet to see the movie) anything on Netflix, all types of music, from The Black Keys to Jason Aldean.

For food I like Mexican, a good burger and healthy stuff like eggs.

How Dateline is able to find such creepy stories of couples who end up killing each other. Have you noticed this? It's on EVERY Dateline episode.

I'm sitting at bar wondering if one more beer is a good idea before I run about a billion miles early the next morning.

One more can't hurt. Never does on Friday night. Saturday? Well that wasn't the question.

I don't eat chocolate. If that's a deal breaker for you, then you are a horrible person.

You like to laugh. A lot.
