Red feathers?
What is it with red? Have you noticed that in every photo of my turkey posted on this site he's wearing red? Yep. Red. Specifically, a red shirt. So here, for the first time in print, I'd like to introduce you to the other half of Drew's wardrobe: white ...

Consecration and tapas
Today we were two of 3,000 people at the National Cathedral celebrating the consecration of the 14th Bishop of Maryland. It was amazing. Breathtaking. Celebratory. Funny in parts. Humbling. Awesome. Not only were we in an absolutely stunning cathedral worshiping with 2998 other people, the pomp and ceremony surrounding the proceedings were fantastic and well executed. The event producer in me was impressed!
After the service we wandered around the Cathedral, admiring the artistry and architecture, taking pictures and greeting friends. How wonderful to see Bishop Townsend again! (Martin, please tell Barbara "hello" for us. I was so excited to see you that my manners flew out the proverbial window.)
From the Cathedral we made a beeline up Wisconsin Avenue to Bethesda. Not only was it well past lunch at 2:30 p.m., it was high time to introduce Drew to tapas! We settled at the lovely BamBule and quickly ordered several dishes. Bring on the small plates! The Pollo al Ajillo was Drew's favorite by far - he kept 95% of it for himself. We can also recommend the Pan y Jamon. YUM!
Our souls and bellies finally filled, we headed for home. The day, however, would not be complete without a birthday shout-out to my brother, middle sib, Jeem. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Leap of Faith
After looking through Drew's photos from Turkey and hearing the stories, there is a definite water theme emerging. Originally it was the Bosphorus, then the Mediterranean. Add the Dead Sea, Agean, guzzling holy water, exploring water falls, and then we get the photo below. He needs new swim trunks after this!

Stand
One of Drew's photos from the Hagia Sophia. I love the composition as well as the sign. Maybe "standart" was supposed to be "standard?"
