Conference in DC
I am attending the credit union conference in DC and am amazed at the big name folks here: former prime minister Tony Blair, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and a slew of senators and house reps. Not to mention having met so many nice people. Wow! – Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone Location:9th…

Hear ye hear ye. Another hearing
How crazy! Three hearings in one week. I think next week will be thin on the hearings. Not sure if that’s good or bad for me. I have proposed some interesting stories from all this to my editors. I’ve got to do some research today or tomorrow. Excited to see my stories unfold through the…

A big surprise

Preparing for my first journalism job
It has taken a bit but I have finally started a new job. The last two weeks I have been in training classes. I admit it’s been grueling, learning new stuff. But I feel like I will be fine. Certainly it will be a bumpy start. Why would it be any different than previous endeavors?…

Tourist activities of a DC transplant
As a new denizen of the inner beltway, I have been partaking of the many activities this city has to offer.

Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, the odor dissipated by the time I visited on 7/22/13. The line was long, but moved quickly. It was an awesome experience. I recall having…
