Ahem... I guess I'm a lobbyist. How the hell did that happen? The biggest surprise is that I enjoyed it, once I got over being nervous. It helped to have my partner-in-crime there with me. When we weren't lobbying or listening to speeches or partying with union veeps (yawn), we were tourists with maps and digital cameras taking pictures of our nation's fantastic monuments. Everyone should visit D.C. - you can just feel the patriotism!!
