Brief schedule for last couple weeks involved two days in the office, 5 days in DC, and 5 days in Providence. Misc ramblings on each:
DC - Stayed in the same hotel as the UConn basketball team and the UConn booster club. Interesting that they travel together... But it made for a lot of fun during the UConn - George Mason game. Went to the Sports Bar in our hotel, and hung out with a bunch of people from DC and all the UConn fans that couldn't find tickets of their own. Rowdy, good times. Games like that are exactly what I love about sports bars.Well, I have a few more days in Orono, and then the gf and I head out for a bout with sun, sand, and large boats with pools on them. I'll see what I can do about another blog sometime this week, as I know you all miss me so, so much.
Also spent some time on the hill, meeting with some of the aides and some of the reps for Maine to talk about our programs. Interesting stuff, and by and large, ME is well represented. To a one, all of them were nice and happy to see other people from ME. All four ME reps agreed to vote for a restoration of funds for our programs. Collins actually co-signed the letter in the Senate asking for funds.
Providence - After an all-to-quick weekend at home, off to Providence for a week. First things first, as I get out of the car, I'm pretty sure that I see a Baldwin brother. Yup. It's the one from Backdraft. I thought about saying hello, but as it is, he is only the one from Backdraft. If it was the one from Usual Suspects, or Alec, maybe.
After the first day of meetings, it's time for some beer. A few of us wander down the street, aiming towards a brew-pub type of place that we've heard about. As we walk in, I notice a familiar looking face standing behind the bar. It's been a while, so I'm not sure, but yup, it's Tinsley. She's doing well, and says hello to everyone.
