Going back...

There's no County Commission meeting tomorrow because the Commissioners are going to a conference or something, so I kinda get the day off. Unless I get a lead on my follow-up project, then it's off to work for me.

I called Jody, my former editor/supervisor at Scripps today to see what was happening with this evacuation today, and turns out one of the interns was at the Capitol when it happened. I must admit I feel envious that nothing like that happened while I was in D.C. Yeah, petty and immature, but at least I have the guts to admit the truth.

She also told me that one of my pictures was published, and that a clip was on the way. So I feel very happy about that. I told her about my upcoming return trip to D.C.... oh wait, I forgot to write about that. Here goes: I'm going back to D.C., if only for a little while.

The art club from my old High School is taking a trip to Washington on the 3rd of June, and they're paying half my airfare and lodging to come along with them and be their guide. They go back on Sunday afternoon, but couldn't get me on the return flight so I have my own ticket to come back Monday morning. Scott, in an act of great kindness, has agreed to put me up for the night. I have, in turn, agreed to pay for the beer. (I believe the "D" in "D.C' should stand for "drinking.")

Finally, she told me she was going to try to start reading my blog tomorrow, so:

Hello Jody. Welcome to my pesky little blog, and don't worry, I never said anything bad about you here. Also, please tell Ieesha I loved her column on the evacuation. It was wonderful, and that comes from a recovering columnist.
