Things That I've Learned

1. BEST CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICH IN THE WORLD can still be found at Union Station, in D.C. It comes from a gelato place. When in D.C., go there, try a sample. If it doesn't make you want to immediately buy said sandwich, then you're not human. Just sayin'.
2. There are shockingly few Christmas light or window displays in D.C. Exception: Giant wreathes at Union Station which look like they are made from crystal. This said, the White House is incredibly beautiful on a clear cold night, perhaps more so since it's not covered in twinkly lights.
3. People LOVE Christmas music. Even hastily put together or incredibly tacky Christmas music, it doesn't seem to make any difference. I'm OK with that. I've had two holiday concerts with EPC, played Christmas duets at two different churches four times, played twice at the Museum for MDAB:Holiday Edition and will play at both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day services this coming weekend. Oh, and a huge New Year's Eve concert later this month for which I am currently in rehearsals. I literally had only two days without something on them in December and they were both at the beginning of the month.
4. I need to remember to update my blog more often. Might start another one for movie reviews, which I used to do occasionally on LiveJournal, but haven't in a long time. I saw quite a few films in my theater worker days, not so many now, but I still enjoy watching and thinking about them.
