Well…after practically not having left my computer I have finally finished the second half of Greg Rutter’s list. Here are some of my favorites from the second half.

I’ve been away from my blog for over a week because I was so busy in DC.  On the 20th I arrived in DC with my kids in tow to start a three day stint lobbying for Poker and Sudan with a DC vacation planned after I was done. The first two days I was [...]

I even spent a good part of an afternoon making my mother [...]

When we founded the charity we [...]
