Today, Friday At The Capitol

No, the flowers aren't quite out at the Capitol yet, but it sure was nice. I got a chance to exchange hellos with the Speaker today. She's usually pretty well surrounded by people conversing with her so this opportunity was rare. Some legislators are not thrilled with her introduction of Saturday floor sessions, but maybe that'll make for a short session this year.

I think it was Wednesday that I greeted the assistant Senate Majority Leader, Tarryl Clark on the stairs. She asked how I was. I told her, "Actually, I'm still being denied my basic civil rights." This resulted in some uncomfortable wordless moments as she tried to communicate something to me with painful smiles over her shoulder while making her escape. Ok then.
