Chicken on a Hot-Sod Roof

While Mike Grass is away for a couple of weeks, I'm picking up some of his Express-ive duties. Need to catch up on the haps in the District as of 6 a.m. this morning? I'm your man. In case you don't click over, I'll take the opportunity to especially plug Lynn Berenbaum's tennis blogging. She's covering the Legg Mason Tennis Classic here in the District, and while I couldn't tell you Legg Mason from Foghorn Leghorn, I can absolutely recommend Berenbaum's easy, locally focused, just-gossipy-enough writing style. If you, in fact, actually enjoy tennis, you'll love her stuff.
