DC preview

Thursday through Monday I was in our nation’s capital.    Some of the highlights (full stories to come): 1. If anyone is traveling through LAX or DCA in the near future, you may see my photo posted on a wanted sign.  I broke bent the law and as much as I want to tell you all about it, I should probably speak to my lawyer before I post anything on the internet.  😉 Ok, I’m just kidding.  What happened was I forgot to bring my wallet with me – including my ID – and had… Read more >
