Friday Funnies

Sometimes there is nothing better than watching bloopers from a show that could not be more serious. In this case, it's the humorous breaks in Breaking Bad. And yes, I know the final season starts soon. I'm itching for some more of that Blue Sky.

My Bocce Introduction

Of the many things I am learning as a new employee at the Washingtonian (and believe me, I'm made the fool at least twice a day), something that never ceases to amaze me is the general happiness everyone takes in working there. Just being part of the magazine staff is...
