1. When are they going to decide the exact route, I wonder?

I'm going with two ladies in their 60's and it would be nice to know how long the route is so I could tell them. Although one of them is more energetic than I am. ;)

Let's all put good karma into getting the real cold air out of DC by Saturday. There is is a cold front coming through on Thursday afternoon. i'd like to have my jacket open so people can see my "IRAQ - because 50,000 body bags from Vietnam just aren't enough" t-shirt.

Bring a sandwich and a bottled water for the walk and dress warmly. I'll see ya there!! :hi:

3. I'm still finding just an assembly area map - not one for the actual march route...

And the forecast isn't looking too bad at all - 50 degrees and partly sunny. For us northerners, in January, that's balmy.

2. Everyone who can be there should make every effort to show up
