(Community Matters) In DC for meetings starting Monday.  Early arrival to spend time with my friends the Cramers – Sonya, Reid, Dio & Gabel

Walking through Takoma Park, a home cooked meal, lots of political conversation (natch) and a game of scrabble.  Reid’s head of research for the New America Foundation.  Of course the political events of this week even more dramatic inside the Beltway then elsewhere.  Everyone here has been waiting for passage of healthcare, also so they can move forward on other agendas.  Add MA and the S. Ct ruling – not a good week.
