On a mission for cannoli...

Picked up a Post Office employee, his wife and two beautiful kids to go up to 15th and H for a cannoli at Potenza.  I was puffing and pedaling my 400 pound pedicab UPHILL on 15th Street, the crowds lined up for something special at The White House cheered me on, but Potenza was closed. They had to walk down a block to Cosi's for a snack, when out came a kind young lady with an iPhone and a bunch of ones, like a waitress would. She helped in our quest for cannoli, went back in and came out with three little cannoli. I gave two to Rich and kept one for my Philadelphia-born wife to sample. (I liked it but she was not too pleased with the citron added to the riccota filling.)

Potenza, a very nice restaurant, is Italian for power.

Mother Christmas takes ride from the National Christmas Tree!

Mother Christmas took a pedicab ride from the lighting of the National Christmas Tree last night. She was in the pageant on stage.  We had a  joyous ride from the White House to the parking garage, singing on the way up 15th Street!  "Rudolph the Red Nosed Biker..."  She handed me a red ball that glowed on my nose, attached over my sweater cap on that cold night. (Well, I was puffing and pedaling my 400 pound pedicab UPHILL on 15th Street, so all I could add were the words, glee! and nose!)

So Merry Christmas and Happy 2011, Mother Christmas!
