This is a self portrait of me walking to work this morning near the edge of Georgetown. It's snowing here in DC. So far, there is a light dusting. I don't think that it will do much, but I am definitely ready for Spring.DC Legend: Chicken Wings & Mumbo Sauce
Mumbo Jumbo Noun. 1. Confusing or incomprehensible language or activity. 2. An obscure ritual or incantation. [Mandingo origin.] American Heritage Dictionary Of the English Language Mumbo sauce? Anyone who has ever traveled east of the Anacostia River has heard the term, Mumbo Sauce. What do I mean by east of the river? I mean if you have ventured anywhere near Benning Road, Wheeler Road, Southern Avenue, or Minnesota Avenue in North/Southeast Washington, D.C. There is no way that you can go into any Korean owned and operated “Kerry-Out” [ trans. Carry-Out food ] in DC and not hear someone order french fries with chicken wings and Mumbo Sauce. Impossible! Some like it on the chicken and others (like me) like it on the side. I’ve always thought of Mumbo Sauce as a DC thang, but where did it really come from? Actually, Mumbo Sauce originated on Chicago's Southside in the early 1950s by a man named Argia B. Collins, who was known for his famous ribs and barbeque Mumbo Sauce. N...

Kiss the wife and I LOVE this pic. You really know how to capture DC soul even in the snow.
I'm ready for spring too!
:-]
i can't wait for spring!
I like the framing and the out of focus of the backgroud
Thank you. I haven't been called "cool" since high school. :)
Dance-
I'm happy to hear that things are going so well for you. *smile* I will kiss the wife and pass on the love to her. That always makes her blush and giggle. I'm not too sure about the box?? We'll see. Meanwhile, I'll try to keep the "soul" alive. :)
Thami-
Yes, I know that you are enjoying Summer weather right now. :)
SEJ-
Thanks bro!
Icarus-
Yes, the pics are beautiful there at your place.
UB-
...and it's still snowing from this morning.
Kai-
Thank you so much. You want Spring too, huh? :)
Zapped-
That sounds like the perfect evening. :)I haven't been to Blues Alley in over a year. I need to pay a visit.
Bronze-
Yeah, that Texas weather is strange. It's definitely not confused in the Summer though. It's just straight HOT down there. :)
Cergie-
Thank you! Actually, this was a lucky one on the 3rd try. The others came out not so good at a weird angle. I was satisfied with this one.

I linked you in my page. I found all your posts really interesting.
It is said that only 4% of our population is African Uruguayan and for that reason most of Uruguayans are not involved in these topics you write about; however I consider we shoud learn because learning is understanding, understandig is loving, loving is peace.
Take care my friend. xoxox

I am SO with you on wanting spring! This time of year I can hardly wait, although we do not get spring until Mid to late April... At least I have heat now, my furnace kaputted on Mon night and I could not get it fixed until Wed evening. BURR, it was cold!:(
I also LOVE the pic! You are so talented, in so many ways! Stay warm and keep thinking spring!
Will come back soon
I'm trying to become a real blogger. I just opened the comments section on my blog. Everyone has so far commented as anonymous. Ashamed to know me? I don't know. Please stop by and leave me a comment. I'm lonely and I don't know anybody at the party. Also, someone asked me what I looked like and I wanted to ask you if I could borrow your cool photo since I have none of my own. But that might be weird. Nice shot!
That's mighty cold of you to mention the weather in H'town. :)
Bygbaby-
I here you bro. :)
Analia-
Yes, that is my subject of choice. I love culture and people of color are represented all over the globe. Thanks for that little tidbit on Uruguay. I didn't know about that. Enjoy your weekend and thanks for the love. Peace xoxo :)
Faith-
It's always so nice to hear from you. I'm glad that you are warm again. Stay that way till spring. :)
Thanks for the compliment. The right side of my brain shifts to overdrive at times. Have a good weekend. Peace~
Uaridi-
Always good to see you sis. Peace~
Writer-
:)I'll be over to visit. Thanks
Thanks Cathy! Stay warm and have a great weekend. Peace~
Spring always leaves me with mixed emotions, I do look forward to a return of colour and life .... but I really hate hot!!! so I get a kind of reverse seasonal depression. Summer can make me turn vampire. (only come out at night)
Thank you! It was a cross of fingers. It came out just the way I wanted after about 3 tries. I'm not fond of hot weather either. Spring is a weird dressing time too. Well, here's a toast to seasons. :)
