You’re inspiring, Thomas. Thanks for the photos, and best wishes for the meeting with van Hollen.

…but wait! that’s not all! I got a really good facial sunburn, and my new nickname for Maddie is “The Defender” after she saved one pointblank shot in the season opener as goalie and saved another goal on the goal line as a defender.

I’m looking forward to the day of regional demonstrations on 10/27. One is in PHILLY. Did I leave that in a comment hear already? I’m just so excited not to have to go all the way to D.C.
I saw in a documentary about Vietnam and activism that it was when demonstrations when national/regional that they started to get traction.
Here’s hoping!!
