The Well @ Oxon Run Opens

June 5, 2022 by chito

After more than four years of planning, The Well at Oxon Run, a new urban garden and wellness space has opened its gates. Located in Ward 8 at 300 Valley Avenue in Southeast D.C., the Well had many collaborators: DC Greens, The Green Scheme, and Friends of Oxon Run—teamed up with the DC Department of Parks and Recreation and the DC Department of Energy and Environment to … [Read more...] about The Well @ Oxon Run Opens

Tribute to Two Brothers

May 29, 2022 by chito

In one of our weekly rituals, we crossed paths with the Marine Corps Marathon runners at the Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway by the glamorous Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. We enjoyed making small talk with other runners and meeting new friends along the way just like we did at neighborhood restaurants. As we approached the scenic Hains Point peninsular, we saw … [Read more...] about Tribute to Two Brothers

Beautiful Barcelona

January 7, 2022 by chito

Sometimes life brings you pleasant surprises -- it's not scripted or orchestrated, but just right. Life can be charming, like that, if you let it." The tall white fir draped with multi-colored lights shined bright and festive in front of the U.S. Capitol.  A mile and a half to the west, the nation’s most iconic monument was bathed in spotlight embodying the history and … [Read more...] about Beautiful Barcelona

Traveling is in my Blood

September 5, 2021 by chito

Traveling is in my blood.  When I was four my mother, with my sister and I in tow, escaped the evil grips of my biological father.  I remember vividly the night my mother woke me and my sister up as if our lives were suddenly on the brink and our future on the balance. Our bags were already packed and we sneaked out of the flat that was the venue for vilification over … [Read more...] about Traveling is in my Blood

Escape from Chung King

September 4, 2021 by chito

A double decker bus, obtuse and flimsy, jerked to a panicked halt in front of an evolving high-rise that towered over Tsim Sha Tsui like an emperor cast in bronze. A dozen Hong Kongers poured out carrying large bags of something fresh and smelly.  A South Asian man, lean and pugnacious, carried goat and herb spices to prepare a meal that evoked memories from distant … [Read more...] about Escape from Chung King

After I retired from the Navy, I attended George Washington University to earn my MBA. I left with a diploma, and with a food tech startup called RUNINOut. Our goal was to add as many restaurants, stores and attractions to the directory and after running it for five years, I felt I had oversaturated the local Washington, DC market. It was time to take RUNINOut on the road. In order for my startup to grow, I had to add more restaurants – that meant getting outside the Beltway and exploring the highways and byways in small town suburbia. I bought a truck and drove cross-country for two years. Here's my adventures in the Washington, DC area and beyond.
