Today I got up at 430 for bootcamp again... next went to my internship. Then I went to the Racquet club to get some work done and to Bikram yoga. You could see the sky gleaming yellow and could hear the tornado sirens blaring during class but the instructor didn't really seem to care and continued on as if all was chipper in the world. Then at the end, she was like okay, actually, let's get out in the hallway so the whole class shuffled out and just kind of stood against the wall. It was very dramatic - she had said they had never stopped a class before and I felt like I was witnessing a historic moment, not really since I was just at the White House when Obama, or should I say O'bama announced Bin Laden was dead but historic is sort of an objective term one might say...
Alright, anyway - in honor of Kathryn being in DC, I thought it would be only appropriate to reminisce about my top moments living in that wonderful city.

In addition to being on Capitol Hill in Congressman Cohen's office during the healthcare final vote (and fielding the very interesting phone calls), Editing a midterm election video and staying at the Washington Post until midnight as the election results came in, too many neat things happen in the capitol of this country. Anyway, I love DC and the opportunities it provides.. It appears this was more of me boasting than reminiscing ... BUT I wish you well in DC Kwaggs, don't get too caught up in the political drama that is Washington
