Good morning. We’ll warm up a bit today, with a high around 59, though breezes and gusts are still with us. A low near 39 overnight. The Wizards visit Houston tonight. You can find me on Bluesky, I’m @abeaujon.87 on Signal, and there’s a link to my email address below. I won’t be with you tomorrow, so Kate Corliss will take care of your early-morning roundup needs.
This roundup is available as a morning email newsletter. Sign up here.
I can’t stop listening to:
Geese, “Au Pays du Cocaine.” This buzzy band plays 9:30 tonight with Dove Ellis. The show is sold out.
Take Washingtonian Today with you! I’ve made a playlist on Spotify and on Apple Music of my daily music recommendations this year.
