Introduction I'm a Northern Virginia (NOVA) native who got out, then got sucked back in. After living around the world I somehow find myself a single in a family town, a rootless nomad trapped in a soulless stretch of highways, strip malls, and McMansions. Yet, I've also managed to create a lovely home, and my family is here. I've got some great friends and a job I like that challenges me. So, being stuck in this political suburb with all the headaches of a big city and virtually none of the amenities, I had to do something to stay positive and begin to create a fabulous life for myself. Prozac helped, but it wasn't enough. So now, medicated and no longer fantasizing about blowing myself up in beltway traffic, I fill my days and nights seeking out--and having fall right into my lap--some seriously cool stuff! Here's a daily dose of some seriously cool people, places, and things for your joy, pleasure, amusement, ponderousness, satiety, and savings--all posted with love for you from right here in NOVA! Stay cool!

Lionesses have no manes. How do they know when they've grown up?

When they're suddenly responsible for giving birth to litters of nine and hunting for food for the whole family. There should be a lioness' lib movement!
