1. Tay Tay, he didn't make it to last week's telcom meeting, did he?

I had to step out, but I didn't see him. They discussed voice, but not video disaster communications. Hopefully, he'll make Thu.

Wed looks interesting.

Thanks for posting.

[TayTay]

2. No, he had an SBA meeting

that was apparently held in Siberia or the broom closet Senate conference room without any audio or video feed at all. And no transcriptionist. Nothing at all. They could have discussed the Red Sox for two hours for all I know. Sigh!

I think he will probably go to the Finance Comm hearing. The rest is unknown.

3. and don't forget the National Press Club

Tues, 10 am ET. He's going to have to do a lot of hopping to cover all of them.

[TayTay]

4. Nah, he can probably blow off SFRC

They do that voting by proxy thing anyway. But I kind of bet he blows off that Steroids hearing. Sen. McCain can have that one. It's his big swelly moment to make the nation safe from Rafael Palmeiro. Gawd, This is what we are reduced to in the Congress, gotcha hearings on steroids. Sigh!

6. When is he going to be on c-span, so I

can get a fix?

I'm having serious Kerry withdrawals.
I get like that when I haven't seen him, or heard him for awhile!:crazy:

[TayTay]

7. I think he'll probably make that Finance hearing

It looks like a thing that would be of interest to him.

But, as I have written in the past, I'm not his mother, so I don't track him. It's aguess.
