What to know about me?
I’ve been married for the last 25+ years to an amazing woman who also happens to be my best friend.
Her son is the best stepson I could ever have wished for. Next year, he’ll be marrying a woman I’ll be proud to call stepdaughter-in-law.

When we visited the Spanish Steps, there was a marching band playing (there was some sort of holiday). Here they are leaving while playing “The Washington Post March” by John Philip Sousa.

We all believe in improving efficiency, and a team genuinely focused on that could do a world of good.
But the DOGE we could have had is a far cry from the DOGE we actually got.

Violence has no place in America. Michelle and I are praying for the servicemembers shot in Washington, DC today, and send our love to their families as they enter this holiday season under the most tragic of circumstances.
