Two items knocked off the O’Connell schedule this weekend I’d wanted to accomplish for some time.

Number one, I finally made it to that Yala Greek Ice Cream in Georgetown. It’s been the talk of Instagram, etc. since it opened about six weeks ago and like every new thing that comes down the pike, I just had to try it. Apparently it’s the only official Greek ice cream shop in America, whatever that means.

(I’m sure there’s a joke in here about official ice cream classifications being Greek to me.)

Greek ice cream?

Eh, it’s pretty good. It’s about as good as any other ice cream you’ve ever had, just more expensive and farther away.

Second goal?

Read Mark Levin’s new book, On Power.

Eh.

The best parts are Levin’s quoting others or himself in his previous books. He’s been resting on his laurels for some time now, though I guess he’s earned it.

It’s like Greek ice cream in a way: you figure it’s going to be at least pretty good, and yeah, that’s about where it is.

I aspire.
