Caught My Eye…

Ah yes…it is Friday!  Congrats for almost making it to another weekend (hold on for a few more hours).  Some of you will be getting a three-day weekend (President’s Day is Monday) so enjoy it.  Hey – why not just take off from work right now and get a head start on your weekend?

Of course, you need to read “Caught My Eye” first.

If you are new around here, then you need to know that Caught My Eye is posted almost every Friday morning right here!  This is the highly-read column where I take a look at some of the stories I did not have time to comment about during the week, and I often add a touch of sarcasm.  By the way, everyone and everything is fair game…

Today I write about electronic signatures, countries we like, a big haul in D.C., constituent services, Rumsfeld and Rehberg, VA claims backlog, more thanks, a job offer, Kennedy, I share e-mails from my political inbox, and there’s a lot more!

The Christmas parties are in full swing and, if you are like me, your calendar is filling up quickly with all the invitations from friends to speak and even to just show up and be seen!  It’s a fabulous life I lead being the publisher of The Western Word…eating the free food and never having to buy a drink…

That last paragraph was a joke – I have very few friends…
