My Life

I'm starting out on a voyage,
With heart full and head held high,
To sail the ocean, whether calm or rough,
Out under heaven's blue sky.
The voyage will be long and weary, I know,
But I hope many bright stars will appear.
So I'll sail my ship through calm or strife
With scarce a thought of fear.
I'll stay not here in this quiet place,
Where small ripples blow gently by,
But out on the deep, on the stormy sea,
There, out there, will be I.

You Know You're In D.C. When...

One of my roommates works on the Hill for a Congressman. A little while ago their office received this email:

Dear Congressman Garrett,

Let me get this straight . . . Obama's health care plan will be written by a committee whose head says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn't read it and whose members will be exempt from it, signed by a president who is a closet smoker, funded by a treasury chief who did not pay his taxes, overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that is nearly broke. Great role models! What could possibly go wrong?

Best,

I hope you all get a great laugh out of it as well. Whoever this person is, they bring up some great points to think about...

That is completely hilarious! If I knew who that person was, I would hug them. Hope all is well with you. Would love to see you again when you make it back to our neck of the country!`

Maybe we should use that old-time method of tar and feather and ride them out of town on a rail! what to do -- what to do.

Me and the Kids!
