The view from Washington- Veterans Day

I arrived back in Washington D.C. late Saturday night and was reminded that this time of year is not just about three day weekends and sales in malls.

Amtrak Autumn

Some shots from Amtrak train 148 from Washington D.C to New York that I took on my trip back to Long Island to vote.

The colorful show was much better than television. I think Monet and Van Gogh would agree.

The Politics of Life

I'm currently reading Craig Crawford's THE POLITICS OF LIFE. I read most of it on the Amtrak coming up from Washington last Tuesday. Should finish it today on the return trip. It is a quick read and and explains why even though you may be a quiet, thoughtful and rational person. There are others you will come across in work and life who seem to be off the wall and how to deal with them. Or at least understand their motives for their actions and behavior.
