Monday in Denver – so far

I slept like a rock. When the alarm went off this morning at 7am, I wasn't anywhere near ready to get up. I got dressed and headed downstairs for a cup of coffee. Yes, they have coffee pots in the room but I much prefer real cream or milk over that powdered stuff. While downstairs, … Continue reading Monday in Denver – so far →

Made in to Denver all in one piece

I used the "official airline" of the Democratic National Convention and as those of you who followed my Twittering already know, wound up getting to Denver some 5 hours later than scheduled. The holdup? Apparently, the folks who run the airline had no idea that so many people would be flying out of Norfolk at … Continue reading Made in to Denver all in one piece →

RIP Stephanie Tubbs Jones

I had the pleasure of watching Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones in action earlier this year. At the time, I wrote: Acting as MC for the event was Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones. She was an excellent choice for this, alternating between being cheerleader and poet, something I haven’t seen in a while. The Congresswoman died yesterday. … Continue reading RIP Stephanie Tubbs Jones →
