hello world! so look at this - what a treat for you - 2 blogs in 2 days! try not to get too excited . . . today was my first day back at work - it was fine except for i am desperatly out of the loop and utterly clueless - something which will hopefully clear up soon! but other than that all is well! it's nice to be back - but difficult to type with my wedding nails . . . oh well. i was at work late today - but made it to my first screen on the green! screen on the green is the best thing ever - DC sets up a huge movie screen on the mall and everyone brings blankets and watches fabulous movies. tonight they were showing all the president's men - nothing better than an 8 foot tall robert redford face . . . plus there is just something magical about watching a classic political thriller in DC staring at the capitol with the washington monument behind you. go ahead, call me an idealist - but i love that stuff!

political notes for the day - how long do we think bush can keep up these lies? honestly - does it seem extreme to anyone else? now apparantly condi rice's testimony to the 9/11 commission was completly false. they had intelligence that al quaeda was going to strike lower manhatten. someone explan why they didn't trust that intelligance yet they trusted the intelligence on iraq and the WMDs? we see what we want to see . . .

i leave for the convention in 3 days . . .

rest day for the tour today - don't worry you didn't miss anything. :) wed is THE day - watch lance dominate.
