Most people that I interact with are […]

I just returned from a much needed spring break get-away, and in addition to spending time relaxing, I did a ton of “people watching.” More specifically, I did a ton of “people listening” while my eyes were closed and I was tanning on a beach, or while I was at a restaurant waiting for […]

This past Sunday I was lucky enough to be part of a spectacular event and even better panel discussion held at the Historical Society of Washington DC.
