8:15 -- 9:30 AM

Jim & Ramona: OJ, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, fried potatoes, fruit, coffee

Sit down breakfast and generally good, but the eggs must have been reheated on the plate, because they were stuck to the plate, but the rest was good.

Of course, once again, the speaker was the main attraction. In this case, Dana Milbank of the Washington Post and a commentator on the Keith Olbermann show on MSNBC gave a great talk about "Homo Politicus," his latest book on the creatures who inhabit Washington. Great fun! I also had the opportunity to ask a question about reforming the system, but, unfortunately, he did not have much hope of anything happening in the near future. An added bonus was signed copies of his book. We were able to snag two; one for us and one for our neighbors who are also members of the fourth estate and collect our mail and newspapers for us while we're out of town.
