If this piddling little excuse for a snowstorm keeps you indoors this evening, maybe you don’t deserve to go meet the crew of Road to Roubaix tonight at Warehouse for the film’s fundraiser. The century old road race is no Tour de France with its fancy paved streets and three weeks to make up for break-downs and falls.

D.C. Couple Embarks on Never-Ending Journey Who knew we were in the midst of adventurers? Taking after the infamous Winter, who has taken a quest to visit every Starbucks in the country, D.C. residents Jacinda and Jerry have decided to visit every Starbucks in the District.

First, we’ve got to run 22 miles tomorrow for our seemingly never-ending Marine Corps Marathon training. And then we don’t even get Monday off! The gods are against us. Anyway, no reason everyone else shouldn’t have some fun! Grumble … FRIDAY: Beastie Boys bring their show to the Patriot Center. Need a ticket? Check craigslist. Lots of last-minute…
