The Inaugural Blog

In Washington, D.C., January 20 is usually reserved for the inauguration of presidents. But since we’re still mid-way through an administration, I decided this would be a fitting date to inaugurate this blog instead.
I’ve lived and worked in the District of Columbia – also known simply as the District by its residents – for the past decade.

While my full-time work has always involved journalism in one fashion or another, I’ve also had a weekend job that amuses my friends and sometimes surprises my colleagues.
Since 2001, I’ve been moonlighting as a Washington tour guide.
