Thumbs up...
Dalai Lama in DC... The Tibetan spiritual leader came to town again last week. Give peace a chance, eh?
Veteran's Day... Thanks to all the current/former service members out there. We wouldn't have the freedom to write this paper without you.
Ice rink opening... The National Gallery of Art's ice rink is opening in the next week. Go enjoy some skating in the shadow of the Smithsonian museums.
Thumbs down...
Fly I grounded... Discount airliner Independence Air filed for bankruptcy last week. Our sincerest condolences to all those Pittsburghers out there.
Upside-down X-mas Trees... Apparently the thing to do these days is to have your tree hang from the ceiling to make room for presents. Will this ever catch on?
Helicopter Parents... Some parents take it upon themselves to be involved in their kids' roommate issues in college. Bug off, guys. Let them work it out like adults.
