A fantastic night all 'round. Here it is, sort of, in photos, with huge portions missing since I was so busy. I started by voting at 8am in the Dogpatch. There was a line and it took ... http://www.chloechloe.com/2008/12/18/current-diggs-the-election/ A fabulous few weeks, all centered around the launch of Hack the Debate with the first Presidential Debate on September 26th. This was an idea about three months in the making, but 18 months in gestation. At last, at last... Some photos to illustrate the event. My Dad visited and caught ... http://www.chloechloe.com/2008/10/05/hack-the-debate-it-feels-good-to-launch/ Dad came to visit for a wonderful few days. We enjoyed a rambuctious birthday dinner at Piccino's, where Sher started us off with a bottle of Prosecco and Jon closed us out with a home-made lemon tart. For which he burned his wrist.

My dream car, by little hot-rod, my reason to smile every morning on the way to work--Roxy-- was stolen last night. We had such a short time together. Apparently, the police recover 95% of stolen vehicles, but often not in an operational state.

Jon orchestrated an amazing menu; we had a special secret theme. We drank many lovely bottles of riesling, chianti and prosecco, and somehow, a bottle of tequila. And I still have the group voicemail, left at 2am, as ... http://www.chloechloe.com/2008/08/20/august-dinner-party/ I finally got into my dream home on Tennessee in the Dogpatch, and here's a photo tour. I would love to renovate this house; I literally vibrate with happiness when I walk past and imagine bringing it back to its original splendor. It could host some killer dinner parties. The facade. ... http://www.chloechloe.com/2008/08/18/inside-my-dream-house-which-happens-to-be-decrepit/
