This just went rolling by my commuter bus on our way up 14th Street this morning. Getting back in the race? On it's way to be re-decorated? Or maybe just going to take back his Gingrich endorsement!

Here's one from the correspondence files from many years ago. A friend worked at the Martin Luther King Federal Holiday Commission, and volunteers were needed for an event they held in DC. So I helped out, mostly to be able to hang out with a buddy. But I still got thanked by Mrs. King for the very very tiny part that I played in helping make today a holiday.  And I remember this tagline, "It's a day ON, not a day off!"  I need to work on living up to that.

Not satisfied with the natural hair color provided by their parent's boring old gene pool, the Casey girls decided to jazz things up a bit.  Their parent's hair color is also changing, almost as quickly, but naturally.

Christmas came early thanks to this gift from Mrs. C, a tin of my favorite candy, Lemonheads! And I learned some history too, the Ferrara Pan Candy Company was founded in Chicago in 1908. So perhaps my ancestors enjoyed them some Lemonheads as well. I'd like to think so.

Not won, just played. Yet I'm still pleased with this milestone of IPhone distraction. What next to achieve? Fortune? Glory? 500 Unique Beers? Stay tuned...

My new job is several blocks farther from the bus stop than my old one was. But a ride from Capitol Bikeshare past the White House isn't a bad way to start or end a day. Happy Friday Everybody!

Next Tuesday I will reach a milestone at work. The day will mark my seven year anniversary working at NGP VAN (formerly NGP Software).  It's appropriate that this anniversary should fall on Election Day, as that is the day that is the culmination of the efforts of myself and everyone else at NGP, year after year.  We live by the election cycle. Many months of effort build like a crecendo, with an outcome ultimately being decided by the voters on Election Day (and just sometimes by the Supreme Court).

My job at NGP was to build an Online Campaign team, providing website development and strategic services to Democratic candidates, parties, PACs, and other good guys and gals. Seven Election Days later, I look back with great pride at the work we've done and the people I've had the honor of working with.

But the time has come for a change, and I'm very excited to share that I've accepted a position as Director of Internet Strategy at Netcentric Campaigns where I'll work providing progressive non-profits with strategic support in their online efforts and in building advocacy networks for social change. I'm very excited for such an opportunity that will take advantage of my skills and experience, while providing me the opportunity for professional growth, working in advocacy rather than for campaigns.

Wish me luck, and stay tuned...

I ran into this on my way to the Rosslyn Metro one night last week. Not the typical Civil War history of most of the historical markers we typically see. I was glad to find the spot was memorialized.
