Jefferson


This is a picture of the kids sitting on the spot where I proposed to Ali on her birthday in 2001. Ali surprised me for our anniversary this year by taking and framing this picture, which I now have sitting on my desk at work. It's one of my favorite spots in DC (especially in the fall, after the tourist season), even though there are a lot more security barricades now.

Interesting tidbit: When Jefferson was 33 when he wrote the Declaration of Independence. When I was 33 I wrote a blog entry about Thomas Jefferson. Guess that's why he has that Memorial.

Hmph. I proposed to Erin on a futon where the dog went to be sick. You may get that memorial yet.

I am so impressed that Jake ate oysters

Those two great little kids in front of the memorial are a fine testament to you and Ali and worth more then any building.
