Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

[ConorMacNessa]

The commute went quite well, thanks. Of course, I left the office at 6:30, when the rush hour is winding down. Still, I passed two accidents in the first mile.

I also nearly sent a couple of GW undergrads to the Promised Land coming around Washington Circle - the anarchists obviously had no respect for a Red Light, or for a 3-ton van with a half-crazed Viet Vet at the wheel!

Other than that, a tranquil trip home - under an hour and arrived home in a happy frame of mind. :)

Good evening, Connie, and thank you for the red, white, and blue Tribute To Our Troops.

Did your Wednesday go well? A safe commute? *HUGS*

I got 30 out of 56 pages of entries done last night and we were able to get edits today with a little time to look at them. One of the first ones I looked at the guy was getting 33,000 plus. Thankfully I was able to fix it. I WANT THIS THING FIXED!!!

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND OUR BELOVED NATION!
