in my cd player... True Love Always Torch   on the page... Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay The Federalist Papers   into... the Constitution (again!); my new wool skirt; hiatuses; fall, fall, loverly fall; dreaming about that perfect DC brownstone apartment   adriatico's... Alex asked, "Don't you miss the campus area? Just a little?" And I honestly wasn't that nostalgic until I heard that magic word. Those bread sticks and cheese were so heavenly.   mixed messages... One minute he complains because whirlygirl has too much new stuff for him to read. The next he is leaving voice mail about the severe lack of new material. One or the other Mister. "That's my sister!"   whirlygirl scouts... Eric sent me a cool article about young, single hipsters volunteering to be Girl Scout leaders. And it's definitely got me thinking. This may be an amazing project for my new life in DC.   deadline: 2001.01.20... I'm talking to the bigwigs at Lois this week about transferring to DC. My new goal is to be there in time for the inauguration. I don't care who we're celebrating... I just want to be part of it.   Okay.
