During work, I had the pleasure and comfort to attend a Sesame Street Special entitled "Coming home: Military Families Cope with Change" -- tells the story of servicemembers returning home with injuries and explores the struggles that families face as they search for a normal life.
Included special appearances by Elmo and Rosita (They were a trip) as well as Dep Sec Def and GEN Shinseki (Really admire and respect this Leader).
Great day at work, even went for a nice swim.
After work, I attended the River East Emerging Leaders (Thanks to Darrin who invited me) -- A progressive network of East of the River movers and shakers at the Honfleur Gallery.
Was my first time at the Gallery. Really enjoyed seeing old friends: Susan, Julian, Darrin, Yavocka, etc and meeting a few new ones.
I was impressed and will definitely be back.
Then I went for a spin a couple of times at Haines Point. Today was a nice warm day -- high in the mid 60's, so I was still able to go for a nice night ride and wasn't too, too chilly, even in my biking shorts.
This was the first time I've gone for a spin in nearly 4 months. Wow -- What a thrill -- something I've greatly missed. Welcome Spring!
So, a great day at work for our Nation, inspired by our wounded veterans who sacrificed so much for me and my Country, got a great belly laugh from Elmo and Rosita, shaked hands with some impressive young professionals -- some who will be my future leaders and went for a swim and a spin.
