Night Class

After a pretty long day at the office on Thursday I went to my night class at the Hall of the States building just north of the Capitol.  We discussed further the process of budget making at the federal level, and highlighted the reconciliation process that we will undoubtedly hear more about whenever the budget is discussed over the airwaves.  I stuck around after class to speak with the professor about the memorabilia that hangs all about his office.  One of which is an autographed photo of Milwaukee Braves pitching great Warren Spahn.  He met him through a random encounter with a custodian that was high school classmates with Spahn.  A couple weeks after he met him, Spahn sent the autographed photo to him just out of courtesy.  Very cool.  After leaving the class, I walked to the front desk to say good evening to Officer Johnson who is a plump man that rests in his seated position as regularly as the chair he is upon, and who has as diverse a demeanor and facial expression as Tim Duncan.  Doing so caused me to come within a few feet of Fox News host Chris Wallace, and we both nodded towards each other before parting ways.  I enjoyed a conversation over the phone with both my mother and Ben Dayton on the walk home.  A successful day indeed.
