Welcome 2013!

And we're off to a new year!

A lot has happened in my life in the last 12 months:

• Terry bought an apartment in Manhattan.
• My father died.
• Good things happened at work.

With the new West Side apartment at Columbus Circle, Terry and I are traveling less across the Atlantic and more on Amtrak and Greyhound. Now that my father's gone, my family members are encouraged to visit me in Washington. This year is about focus. Clockwork.

I recreated myself when I turned 50, leaving association management and embracing a new federal career path. Now I'm redirecting my personal life as well. It's less about foreign countries and more about enjoying New York and nesting on Capitol Hill. It's more of a private party. Invitation only. Want in?
