... in the room and got on the streets. But not without brushing elbows with some Washington Elite. In our hotel lobby was former Sec of State Madelyn Albright, walking through on her was to some function there. I did not want to bug her as her entourage was with her, and we will be catching up anyways later this week over lunch. We planned on just walking around the hotel a bit, and a few hours later…we find ourselves all the way down at the White ...

... Obamba. Still in our tourist mode, we stopped and took photos of the cutout alongside of ourselves. We were shortly at the gate with but a few minutes to wait before our next flight to San Francisco. We took this time to call home and talk for the first time in many months to our son who was preparing to pick us up at San Francisco Airport. As our flight left the ground and headed to San Francisco, we had been up for 22 hours and 25 minutes.

On Wednesday the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committee, chaired by Senator Lieberman, had their hearing on the Domestic Partner Benefits and Obligations Act. GLIFAA had me go and take notes. As a sat and listened I realized how much the LGBT community has accomplished in such a short period of time but at the same time how much more we have to do. This puts GLIFAA in an interesting situation because they are not like other advocacy groups as they have to ...

... had been separated in the museum and so I walked out, I discovered that I was the last one of us to emerge. Lisa took a look at me and jumped up to hug me. This started the open sobbing for me. The hardest part is to realize that humans have not changed so much, that genocide does still happen today. Leaving the museum, we walked across the mall and sat in front of the Washington Monument to catch our breath and quiet ...

... opinion. Newer memorials seem to try and capture every aspect of a leader's challenges instead of distilling them into a simple shrine. Jefferson's statue feels like its radiating freedom, while FDR's feels like a parade of abstract architecture. Lincoln's memorial was in a league of its own. The expression on his face as look forever out at the Capitol is one of calm dominance. His right boot edges off the platform as though he just sat down. Nearby is his ...

... got that accomplished, I was holding the footsie wrapped around my knee, and I stood up so we could head back to the parking lot - and reeled back as I banged my head into a low limb of the tree that I didn't notice was just above me when I had collapsed, bleeding, in the shade! I started laughing, Larry was laughing and said this was like a Roadrunner/Wiley Coyote cartoon in Hawaii. We then headed back to the car - a distance of maybe a city block ...

... one of about 10 women (definitely a case of "look but don't touch") and having a photo take on the lap of the hottest santa i've ever seen. - greek tapas friday night, sushi saturday night, ny bagel sunday morning. - being back in my favorite city in the world.  

Well, this will be our last travel blog. Nicole and I safely returned to the US on August 30th with no problems. We were amazed that during our entire two months away, we had no big travel fiascos and arrived everywhere safely with no major detours along the way. Now, we are gearing up for school. In the next few weeks, we will be compiling and analyzing the rest of our data, and will submit a report to the New York Academy of ...

... We imagined it to be very crowded with 50 men in these rooms. We spent about 30 minutes at the Franklin Institute of Science. There were telephones there where you could hear what other people had to say about Benjamin Franklin. Many of his notes were in this museum. Calen and I really enjoyed the museum because our research projects about Ben Franklin. Later, we had two and a half hours on our own. We ate sushi for lunch ...
