"What’s going on in your area? A year ago, we were looking forward to coming to DC again in January. :(

Guess we will plan on seeing you again in 2013. OMG ... Marissa will be a teenager."

Yep. Times like these will age a body.

We're working out a new philosophy here:

"Cringe Globally, Act Locally"

“Cringe Globally, Act Locally”

Sounds about right!

I learned something from helping the homeless guy, he was a Vet too. We talked of old times and I called a few places to find him some help. I got him a contact in the Vets Center who is trying to find him a job. I then called a church I know and they had a line on a room he could use for a week so he was off the street. Several ladies of the Aux. promised to see he got to the church dinner that night.

I saw a few hundred people walk past the guy curled in the corner of the building trying to stay warm. They were all intent on shopping or getting to their warm places, and couldn’t see the real test of their faith and humanity shivering just a few feet away. I swear, if it had been Jesus there, what would he have made of their claim to faith and human worth?
