Interesting two days coming up

Last night in a cab I passed by a tent encampment on a closed city street. It was GWU’s version of the encampment. By the time I realized what it was it was too late to get a picture.

One yes from today was the chairman of the armed services committee. We got a photo op with him, which I’ll share later.

The guy on the right in the top photo is the former FEMA director.
Great guy. Had a meteoric career. At 32 he became the head of Alabama’s FEMA equivalent and was a member of Governor Bob Riley’s cabinet. He was tapped for FEMA at 42.

You know, I didn’t notice it while there and when I looked at the pic I thought it was W. But you’re right, it’s a portrait of him.

Funniest moment - we found ourselves in an elevator with 6-7 other guys, all middle aged in suits. One of them quipped “a whole lot of billable hours in this elevator right now”.

To be optimistic, perhaps it was a piece of art from his kid or something.

Very true. I've had a few meetings where we leave the meeting and I'll tell a buddy...well that pointless meeting just cost the taxpayers about $5,000.

Funny, but I thought the same thing!!!
