OFF THE WALL
OK I have not been traveling much recently so in the past ten days, I went to a Board of Directors meeting in Dallas, last week fly to Seattle for a bank conference and then last Thursday flew to Washington DC to visit our nations capital.
It has been a great but hectic trip. I have seen the US Capitol, the Surpreme Court, the Postal Musuem and Union Station - and that was the first day.
Today, I was in Alexandria to walk around Olde Towne and see the Washington's Birthday parade. The parade was great. It was a typical small town parade. Every politician was there marching in the parade. There were bands, horses, Vetrians of Foreign Wars and at the end were troops of brownies, girl scouts, cub and boy scouts.
The weather was cold and I think now I will take a shower just to warm up.
Thanks to everyone who has remared about the shoulder stories.
