aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh what is it when you are Mad You Missed Out? MYMO? I went to a cocktail class with J above a vietnamese grocer on 14th. The woman next to us opened a notebook and started sketching as the bartender was explaining things. In just a few lines, she perfectly captured the bartender, then started sketching the ingredients and writing out the recipe, and the end result was so charming. Some people are so creative.

But omg the MYMO when we got out, tipsy and cheerful, and learned that there had been aurora borealis in the sky above the capitol and all around Washington. I died. The pictures were stunning. I have been consciously putting my phone away and just being present and this is what happens. I can't believe no one ran in to say, "OMG THE SKY IS PULSING"

[also - the cocktails were good- a banana daiquiri with pandan syrup that i will try to recreate at home if i can get past the idea of muddling a banana, which, blech]
