So close, and still so far.

From the Wash. Post this morning: "Former prez and heart patient Bill Clinton was seen the other day ordering himself a hot dog bagel -- a hot dog inside a bagel -- at Einstein Brothers on Wisconsin Avenue. He also ordered trail-mix cookies, which surely qualify as health food, and coffee. With Secret Service agents watching, he carried his own bag as he greeted customers, including two excited 11-year-olds, Emily Widra of Rockville and Madelyn Levy of Washington. "Hi, ladies," he said. "

I'm devastated!!!!!! That's a mere 2 or so miles from my office... I could have been there. Stupid Emily and Madelyn. They don't know how lucky they have it, for a number of reasons:

1) They were not at my workplace.
2) They got to talk to Bill Clinton.
3) They were at Einsteins.

I bet they didn't even get coffee with their bagels...What a waste.

Who Knew?

I suppose it's time for more posting...now that I've removed the last name from the blog, I guess I can be a little more free to, well, criticize - because let's face it, that is one of my strengths. Or, as I put it in my government KSAs, critical thinking is part of my "skill set."

It's nice to know that my musings have been missed. Well, "missed" is probably too strong a word..."noted," perhaps? Either way...

Well, back to the regulatory compliance salt mines...with my trusty venti bold drip with hazelnut at my side, all is achievable.

I'll save the discussion on Jenna Bush's impending faculty position at a DC Charter School for later - I'm giddy with comedic possibilities...
