Well, we got our dusting of snow and a little ice here in the nations capital city. Looked wonderful, but did not last long. I was of two minds of whether or not to have a snow day from work. If we stayed home, I would still be working hard on two classes I am taking to finish my masters degree, so either way -- there was not going to be a day of rest granted. We at my house did however get to go to a local concert of the DC GLBT Chorus; it was very nice and was a great respite from the angst of the world outside. It allowed me to take off my mind the confusion many of my fellow students have with our first assignment of Analytical Techniques.
Hillary Clinton collapsed during a speech today – I hope she’s okay…we need people like her if we are ever going to win back some sort of dignity for our country…Bush has really made a mess of things. As a veteran, I can honestly say that he should be impeached! His lies have caused and continue to cause the deaths of many innocent soldiers in our armed forces. Hell, Clinton lies about a bit of personal business that is strictly between he and his family and the Republicans want to impeach him – Bush lies, thousands die – and not one word about impeachment! Makes me sick to think that not one Senator has the courage to stand up and get that ball rolling!
Well, enough for today…back to the grind.

In the Beginning..
Okay, so this is my first shot at this blog business. It will be a work in progress and we can all at once watch what happens here. The title of the page is taken from an old newspaper reporter, Heywood Broun. He used to have a column that was syndicated all over the country and that was the title of it. He used it much like we are using these blogs. Since he was rather famous and had some clout, he could spout his thoughts about the injustices he saw and get away with it.
So, here we are. Now, about me. I work for a large international labor union and am in school wrapping up my MPA degree, three more classes and I am done. Whew, thought I would never get there. I also volunteer with a group called Pride At Work, a constituency group of the AFL-CIO. It works to build bridges between the labor and the GLBT (gay, lesbian, bi and transgender) communities. You can check out the web site here .
I live in Maryland and work in Washington, D.C. -- Since I came from a small town in Wisconsin...and I do mean small, less than 700 people, D.C. was a big change. It has been almost 15 years now since I moved here and it does not seem like the huge city it was when I first came here. I see now that it is fairly a small place with big things going on, political and otherwise.
Well, that's it for now. Will be doing more as the muse directs.
