there and back again

Another looming work deadline means I'm stuck to the laptop today and playing catch up this morning. Here are a couple of phone pic snaps from the journey and a quick list of the fun from this week's conference and travel to Washington, DC.


1) North Philadelphia as seen from the train, man I miss it.


2) Capital architecture, this one is Union Station.


3) 1200 like minded citizens talking about the benefits of using faith-based organizations to engage communities and mediate the connection to the feds.


4) The President addressing the audience (press photo, not mine) His remarks can be read here.


5) Nearly ten hours in sessions--one of them mine!

6) Half-price wine night at Jack's in DuPont Circle.

7) Staying at the Watergate and thinking about 1972.

8) Out on the town Friday night for tapas at La Tasca.


9) Indy craft fair on Saturday in Silver Springs, MD where I bought this t-shirt from Squidfire for Elbo, a veggie baby--now officially known as Eliot Benedict Bojarski--welcome little guy!

10) Train ride home reading Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim by David Sedaris and listening to Jeremy Fisher.

11) Falling into bed exhausted realizing that another week is about to begin.
