We went to our friends's birthday party at Olivar on Capital Hill.  It was a very small restaurant and we did a fixed price dinner.  We tried many different dishes, mostly delicious and had many bottles of wine, all delicious:). Afterwards, we went to see Tower of Power at Jazz Alley to round off the evening.  It was a fun night!

When you hear “drones,” you probably think of U.S. military operations in Afghanistan or elsewhere, but a small number of real estate practitioners have been exploring whether drones might be used as a way to survey property and shoot aerial videos to help market and sell listings.
