My parents and Lucy came to visit me this past weekend, and we had a blast! The only problem was that they couldn't stay very long since they drove. However, we got a lot of shopping, eating, and decorating done. And, I got to play with my puppy! With Labor Day gone and college football back on TV, I realized that summer is officially over...ahhh!!!
Well, I've kept busy with my 20 different activities. This weekend I head up to (north of) Boston for a dance competition. Lots of dancing, drinking, and very little sleep. And, I get back into DC on Sunday night at midnight...I should be very useful at work on Monday.
Work is great, but crazy. The Assault Weapons Ban expires on Monday, Sept. 13, so all of our focus is on that. We have a big press conference tomorrow with some 75 police chiefs and officers coming in. Jim and Sarah Brady are going to be all over the news programs. Also, keep an eye out for our full-page ads in the New York Times and Washington Post!
Good luck to all the Smithies on their first day of classes...I'll be thinking about you guys!
