This new job is going to be full of wonderful and intriguing experiences. Today brought such an experience, as I got a chance to call Senator Clinton's office. Obviously, I didn't talk to Hilary herself, nor did I expect to, but just talking with one of her staffers was thrilling for me. I've harbored thoughts of working on the Hill, and getting to speak with the folks who actually do work there, hearing their regular, real world voices, makes the notion just a bit more concrete for me.

There will also be odd discoveries. Case in point: yesterday, it became abundantly clear to me that a large portion, maybe 70 percent, of the committee work in our United States Congress is being done by women named Courtney. I don't know what that means, if it means anything at all, but I'm convinced I now know what the given name of our first female president will be.
