Just a couple weeks before the White House Spring Garden Tour, the Easter Egg Roll is another annual tradition that’s actually a race where children push a hard-boiled egg across the South Lawn of the White House using only a long-handled spoon. Usually, […]

Who’s on First?

It’s baseball season again and the Washington Nationals had their home opener yesterday against the Florida Marlins.

In Spring training, the Nats were 6 and 6 with 2 ties. And after a fifth-place finish last year, and some serious questions about team unity, the Nats have high hopes for this year’s season. With a new manager […]
