Union station and Senator Dodd
I am sitting in the Columbus Room at Union Station in DC waiting for Senator Dodd’s arrival. For those outside the world or finance and regulation, he is one of the authors of the Dodd-Frank Act. One of the most broadly reaching pieces of financial regulation. The room is large and open. White walls are…

Zombies attacked me in my sleep
I woke up with an earache that is now in my throat and throughout the left side of my face. I feel like a zombie. Arg. Of course sinus meds helped with that freshly zombie-bitten feeling. Crawling back in bed. – Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Gonna play the lottery
On the way to work this morning, I managed to have nothing but green lights. Now that may not seem so far fetched but from my house to the metro is about three miles. There are about seven lights and all were green this morning. When I got near the Springfield mall, I just knew…

Farmers market- late post
I wrote this weeks ago and forgot to post! Checking out the street / farmers market in DuPont Circe because Luis is volunteering. Sitting at a cafe having brunch and I realized that it takes balls to drive in this area. Especially trying to park. The day is overcast and moving toward sunny after the…

Everything has to come together

Later in the day, there is a meeting with some huge names in the finance regulatory world. Yellen. Tarullo. Lew. My little South Georgia mind is…

The (unwanted) power of invisibility
I guess I never realized I had a superpower. But it’s been creeping into my daily life for a bit now. I see it in passing glimpses. People don’t see me. I thought at first it was because I am in the big city. DC. Melting pot and shit hole all in one. I have…

Observations on a Tuesday
There was this brown-skin middle-aged woman on the train who was huffing and carrying on because some younger woman was standing in front of where the older woman was sitting. The young woman’s backpack kept swinging near the older woman and she’d huff and roll her eyes again. The train was crowded with people sleepily…

Sunshine week events
I have spent the last day or so in sunshine week events at the National Press Club in DC. It has been enlightening and fascinating to sit in the room with some of the brightest minds in journalism. Tonight I met a woman that sat in on an event earlier in the day. When I…
