My rotten brother is spending a week in Washington doing all kinds of exciting things while I sit at home! Yesterday he visited the National Gallery, the Supreme Court, and got to try first-hand experience at being a pollster. Today he went to the Capitol and got to watch in person, from the gallery, as the Senate debated the amendment banning flag desecration. Tonight, he went to see a show at the Kennedy center. He’s staying in the dorms at Georgetown with a group of other kids his age and is getting to meet with congresspeople, lobbyists, pollsters, visit the White House, and more. I am intensely jealous, but I’m also incredibly proud of him for doing this.
Plus he’s gotten to know one of the chaperones, an intern at the White House who may be able to get us a tour of the West Wing!

The intern thing obviously didn’t work out, but the rest was incredible.
Lucky bugger. Too bad we can’t get the West Wing tour.
