I wish he would do one of these a month or even more often than that. I would imagine that the atmosphere in Washington is stifling and he needs to get out of there and mingle with the people who love him.
Have a GREAT time, Michigan!!!
I wish he would do an American dinner- invite people to his dinner on same night and place as correspondence dinner.
Or Maybe travel around the country have dinner with the people, Maybe dinner with Vets, wounded warriors.
