No, Ellen, I didn't - believe it or not, but I don't hit on every cute female writer the Post promotes. Though I do love those pictures of Dr. Andrea Bonoir and Amy Joyce in the Express...I don't have some deep-seated desire to mount every hottie columnist.
I showed remarkable restraint in NOT flirting with Ms. Alexandra Robbins a couple of months ago, and - I know this comes as one hell of a shock - while Rachel is a cutie and a fine writer - she's probably too young for me. I'm not nearly as fascinated with the chesty broad as you'd like to think, nor do I hold the notion that every twenty-something girl wants to get with a thirty-something guy. Plus, I've only submitted a couple of things to Gene's chat over the years. I think he's a wonderful writer, but I haven't gotten "most favored nation" chat-trading status with him yet, like I have a couple of other chat folks, like Rob's personal tech, Paul's radio, or Jason LaCanfora's NFL chats. I miss the Quidnunc's chats - he had the best taste in old punk and alt rock, though Jorge Arangure seems to be stealing tracks off my iPod. Besides, I do a fair share of food writing (www.dcfud.com) myself, I'm sure I can be tracked down should a comely author want a fine dinner in DC or its environs ;-) I would suspect that Rachel may have interned at the Post, or, since she's approximately the same age as Gene's daughter Molly, perhaps they met that way. Gene's also a pretty recognizeable writer - hell, I passed by him near Eastern Market a couple of months ago, going in opposite directions in our cars, and there was no mistaking who he was. Perhaps she approached him and asked for writing advice...or, medical advice on her painful lower back. - Ray --- In [email protected], "Ellen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hey Ray--did you post the question in the update about looking for > Rachel's pic and finding the article?
