Today starts my 10 days of gallivanting (very seriously) lobbying at Captiol Hill with the Kansas Farm Bureau on behalf of Small Town USA. I'm not sure I really know what it's going to all be about so I'll have to let you know. What I do know is we are lobbying legislation for agricultural-related issues and it's sure to be entertaining- or at least my attempt will be something to see. And actually, we'll only be lobbying for two days, and the rest of my time will be spent playing tourist and hanging out with some of the raddest people I know. 

Now here's to waiting and not getting pooped on by random birds fluttering around DIA.
