Almost time for my favorite event of the year, the Congressional Women's Softball Game!
Come to Audi Field or watch on CSPAN or Monumental Sports as the Bad News Babes take on female members of Congress and raise money for young women with breast cancer.

This month in renovating a 125 year old home: adding the bong and ticks of an old grandfather clock to the chaos. Any clock folk want to help me figure out who made this one?

Covering People's March in Washington today. It isn't the size of the 2017 Women's March, but organizers tell me they didn't set out to replicate that march that drew 2.3 million people at marches worldwide

Have to be prepared for a Sunday shift. It is either sleepy or frantic. Never in between

My super power is renovating a 125 year home in my "free time." Look at these beauties stripped of decades of paint. Next up: a solid polish and going up in the guest room for Thanksgiving

I sincerely regret wearing dress shoes over sneakers to cover the Trump testimony in New York. It is 43 degrees
