Back in the Bay Area

It's been a quiet week in Our Nation's Capitol, the House was in recess to enable the members to go back to their districts to begin reminding the voters who they are and what they've done in advance of the election in November. For me it was a great time to catch up with old friends and to make some new ones.

Things will pick up this coming week, but I'm back here for a few days and then heading up to Vancouver for the last four days of the Olympics, a trip that was planned more than a year ago. So I'll be blogging from there.

For now it is wonderful to be home and to be reunited with Liz (and Zorro).
