A friend posted this on Facebook, and I thought it was absolutely adorable. I missed it if it made the Vol blogs earlier.

Somewhere in the Northeast

Yesterday, I was in Philadelphia. Right now, I’m in Boston. This morning I was in Atlantic City. This afternoon it was Newark. Tomorrow night, I’ll be back in DC.
Planes, trains and automobiles. I bought a real newspaper today to keep up with news. It was strange. As soon as I bought it, I wanted to [...]
The New Face of Lobbying
Posted in DC adventures, politics on February 18, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Most Americans wonder how the Federal government manages to waste so much money. How is it possible to pass trillions and trillions of dollars in government pork bills every year? The WaPo has a great article today explaining modern day lobbying processes. While the article focuses on the tourism industry, keep in mind that any [...]
Happy Valentine’s Day!

Actually, I forgot that it was Hallmark’s second biggest holiday until someone randomly wished me a Happy Valentine’s Day in the elevator. My second thought was, “Oh no! I forgot to mail McGuyver Dad’s birthday card!”
Sorry Dad. You should have one arriving later this week.
No, I’m not a bad daughter. Dad is the hardest person [...]
Most Fitting Use of a Current Movie Title

Must give props to Newsweek. They did it again. Yesterday when I checked the mail, the cover of this week’s edition made me pause. Not only is it funny, but it’s also extremely true.
The likely McCain nomination captures the state of the GOP. What does it mean to be a Republican anymore? We have social [...]
A Contrast of Dems

Primary day in Maryland, Virginia and DC. Since I’m not a registered voter in Maryland, I get to sit back and laugh at the Dems today. I always relish those moments.
In the few hours of TV that I watched over the weekend, I kept seeing one Hillary ad in particular and was surprised. It wasn’t [...]

Laura’s post almost mirrors what I’ve been thinking lately. Well, except for the half-marathon thing. The only reason I’d ever train for something with the word marathon in it, is if it was some kind of shoe shopping marathon. I dare anyone to beat me at that.
Anyway, it’s nice to know that others out there [...]
40 Days of Commuting Silence

In case you didn’t notice it, yesterday was Ash Wednesday and the Lenten season officially began.
As a protestant, I didn’t grow up observing Lent. Due to the extended familial wars of religion, I was strongly encouraged to avoid all forms of Catholicism. No offense to my Catholic friends and readers, but the extended fam is [...]
Oh Hey…

Hey Blogosphere,
Remember me? It’s GFTS.
Yeah, it’s been a while.
I care about you. I really do. However, life has been busy lately.
Sorry about that. It’s not you. It’s me.
See, I’ve been kinda swamped with my job and some other stuff going on.
Is that lame? Want the truth? Honestly, I’ve gotten burned out on blogging. The echo [...]
