My lack of posting over the past five weeks has not been for a lack of things to say.

Case in point: completely by chance, I met former Washington defensive end Dexter Manley a few weeks back. Apparently one of my co-workers struck up a conversation with him in front of our office, not realizing his identity. This was eventually revealed, and Dexter ended up coming inside to talk with the staff, sign autographs, and take pictures. It was great meeting him. He seemed genuine, warm, and quite outgoing.

Last year, the Washington Post did an article chronicling what Dexter's up to these days. After the years of turmoil he's put himself through, it's heartwarming to see him find such a positive, constructive path for himself. And you know me, I'm a sucker for a happy ending.
