ADVERTISEMENTS

So, get this. I am leaving for DC in just a little while. I just got a call from Senator Murkowski's office. I got a ticket to the inauguration! It is like winning the lotto. Instead of being in the general crowd of 2 million people, I get to be up front. I don't know how close I will be yet but the instructions sent said to turn off my cell phone during the swearing in! Wow. Unfortunately, the weather here is lousy (just like the last time I tried to get to DC). And like last time I have to spend extra money to fly to Anchorage because the roads are so bad. The city of Anchorage was basically closed today. It went from -35 to +36 and rainy. Everything is covered with ice and 105 MPH winds are predicted around Turnagain Arm. So there goes extra money. But it is a one in a life time chance, especially since I have a ticket! I will try and get a picture of me in my Public Defender sweatshirt with the proceedings in the background. Stay tuned!
