The National Zoo's panda cub will be named Monday, but he won't be out and about until December or so. That's okay; winter is a great time to go to the zoo. July, when I would insist on the zoo as a birthday outing, is not such a great time. Unless you like hills, humidity, and humanity.
Capital City weather: clearing after a week of rain; cool

Wouldn't "Ding Dong" be a great name for a baby panda? For starters, it counds like it could be Chinese in origin. Also, it's perfect for an animal who's the same color as a cream-filled snack cake.
Actually, I like the name Tai Shan. I even voted for it in the poll that the Zoo held. Although not addicted to the "Panda-cam", I do check it out every now and then. Plus the KidsPost had a nice little layout the other day with pix n' stuff about the city's latest little bundle of joy. Here's the bummer part - Tai Shan has to leave DC in 2 years to go to China. That doesn't seem fair somehow.
