Meredith told me recently that she misses me blogging about what’s going on in my life. Right now seems like a really good time to rectify that.

Last weekend my dad was in D.C. for a quick visit. Basically, we were going to attend the Raiders/Ravens game in Baltimore (more on that later). However, we spent a rainy Saturday afternoon at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. Even after a week, I still don’t know how I’ll describe [...]
