… and, finally: we’re intrigued on so many levels by this call for an Executive Assistant for your Washington Redskins.  First off, it it’s not found among the many opportunities (some good intern gigs, by the way) noted here w/ the team, and secondly, we can’t find any revealing info on the @riverhousepotomac.com website/email address noted in the listing (even via whois!).  Could the domain name even be tied to Dan Snyder’s somewhat notorious river-viewing manse?  In any event, we’d love an upgrade to club seats one of these days if you snag this post.

… and finally, part 2: speaking of Potomac River views – here’s an Online Marketing Coordinator post w/ Handwriting Without Tears in river-adjacent Cabin John, MD – apply by Apr. 15

So with that, we hope your weekend is without tears (except the of joy variety, of course) and that currently underway RGIII et al workouts and ongoing #Natitude are without tears (as in, of ligaments), or for that matter, sans crying of any kind.
