In that radio interview that was linked to earlier, Gilbert mentioned that he was mulling over a deal to do a reality TV show. While I’m doubting that he’ll end up pulling the trigger on the offer (just call it a gut feeling) it does stir the imagination about what a reality show with Gil would be like. If it goes through, here’s what you could expect:

Here’s Tom Heath’s latest column on Washington’s entrepreneurial set: Housing and financial services may be wheezing, but business is strong at Avitecture Inc., which installs and services audio-visual equipment for big names like Lockheed Martin, the National Gallery of Art, George Mason University and top secret government agencies. Avitecture’s revenue for the first seven months of 2008 is up 50 percent over last year, according to president Sid Lissner. “We’re on line for $27 to $30 million in revenues this year,” said Lissner, a soft spoken 64-year-old and a born salesman. “It blew me away.” What gives?

Mostly sunny and beautiful on Wednesday Webcam: Latest view of D.C. from the Netherlands Carillon at Arlington National Cemetery. Courtesy National Park Service. Refresh page to update. Today is day 27 of 90 degrees or higher at National Airport this year, the second such day in a row, and probably the last for a while.
