Off to lobby Congress! I’m not sure how much I’ll blog, but I plan on having audio and video to put up at some point, depending on where I can connect and upload from 🙂

It was great to meet you too. I hope that I didn’t seem too anti-social…I just had lots of visits I needed to make (of a personal nature).

Marti,
Glad I finally got to meet you. Was a pleasure lobbying with you in Julia Carson’s office.
