Subtitle this entry: A Glimmer of Hope?

But before that, I’ll get to the rest of the day. Breakfast, blog, laundry, C-Span watching. Then the Sligo golf tournament with Woody, Sara and Tom Stanton (Limerick Pub). We didn’t win anything (except a boatload of raffle prizes, including the 50/50!). But a good time was had by all. All members of the foursome played respectably, and we had a good banquet – cooked by course manager Dave Degirolamo. (I should say that all of us except Woody had a good banquet – he was too busy passing out prizes to eat. So he had a sub sandwich from Seminary Beer, Wine & Deli a little later. We also picked up ice cream cones from Tropical Ice Cream.)

Now – the glimmer of hope. Congress Van Hollen has filed a discharge petition to bring the continuing resolution to the floor. It looks like there may be enough support to either discharge the resolution, or at least to embarrass the leadership into moving it forward. There’s also a bill pending that would pay us for the furlough time. Saturday update: THEY PASSED THE PAY BILL UNANIMOUSLY IN THE HOUSE!!!
