"I think of Soltan as the Maureen Dowd of the blogosphere,
except that Maureen Dowd is kind of a wrecking ball of a writer,
and Soltan isn't. For the life of me, I can't figure out her
politics, but she's pretty fabulous, so who gives a damn?"

SNAPSHOTS FROM HOME
Thesdan Pyramid



Move over, Bosnia.

While digging the foundations for Canyon Ranch Bethesda, workers on the site recently stumbled upon what seems to be a vast early ‘thesdan pyramid.
Teams of lawn care professionals have been hard at work incorporating this amazing find into the wellness lifestyle location which will soon be Canyon Ranch Bethesda.

Plans for the Thesdan Pyramid include turning its large light interior into seminar rooms where residents (residents only, please; Canyon Ranch Bethesda is extremely exclusive) will be able to attend lectures by such guest speakers as Aphrodite Clamar-Cohen and Diana York Blaine.
