I live and work in the District of Columbia. I write at We Love DC, a blog I helped start, I work at Technolutionary, a company I helped start, and I’m happy doing both. I enjoy watching baseball, cooking, and gardening. I grow a mean pepper, keep a clean scorebook, and wash the dishes when I’m done. Read Why I Love DC.
Is the deadline today or tomorrow? Today is Wednesday the 12th.
Sorry, Jamie, I went straight from their press release there, Wednesday is the 12th. I’ll get a clear answer.
