It's been a busy few weeks, but I'll try to sum up. Last week we went out just about every night. On Friday I went to Philly again for a halloween party, attended by mostly Armenians. I was dressed as one of the agents from Matrix, and got really hot so the jacket came off. Now I know why guys hate wearing ties.

Saturday we woke up late and a group of us went to an outdoor restaurant on the river that was almost tropical. The weather was so beautiful, I wore a tshirt and was in heaven. That was an very relaxing 3 hour lunch, or whatever it was. While in Philly, I purchased my friend Antranig's new CD, History (www.aravod.com). Antranig plays oud and the CD is just him and a Dhol player, Barrett. I love the combination of the instruments, so I recommend the CD.

I came back to DC Saturday afternoon just in time for the Ani Dance Group performance. I danced with the Sayat Nova Dance Group in Boston once and sadly am extremely critical when it comes to these things, but for a volunteer dance group, they did a good job. There was some modern stuff in there I didn't quite get, but some of the girls dances were beautiful.

Later that night we gave a send off party to Alex, as he headed to LA. It was a good week. The Parliamentarians also returned, but not before they roamed the streets of Georgetown on Halloween night. I hear it was an entertaining night indeed. Let's just say they were "cautioned" not to enter certain bars.

Redskins lost their 4th game in a row and Ramsey (QB) keeps taking the hard hits. God only knows what the rest of the season holds for us.
