On Friday, May 23 at about noon I found myself shopping in the Special Occassion Dresses at Lord & Taylor, Tyson's Corner, VA.  While looking at a few dresses for the upcoming Army Ball, I happened to see Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison.  Funny, she had time to buy a cute little flowered dress but like the other members of Congress could not find time to fund a "clean" bill for the troops.  I guess lucky for her I was with the sales lady because I really wanted to ask her how it felt to shop knowing the troops were still not funded.  So, I sent an email a few hours ago.  I'm anxiously awaiting a response.  I'll be waiting a very long time I'm sure.

Happy Memorial Day to all the people in Congress.  May they get it through their thick heads what the "Holiday" is all about.
