2010
The dark days of the great recession
Begin slowly to fade away
Ending my Barbados experience -the best job in the foreign service on high note best labor officer award

glimmer of hope as economy comes back to life
Studying Spanish arriving in Spain
worst year ever part of three years bad luck

the US re-elects the Black President
rejecting Romney entitlement mentality
I leave Spain my last foreign posting
buying new property in the fall

loose the social Battling gay marriage, legal pot
Starting a new job as an evaluate program evaluator
ending my six month wandering the halls of State

The Obama presidency
The tea party rebellion on the right
Moving to Capitol Hill

Blogging up a storm
2019

The house races up and impeach is the president
I travel to Vietnam, Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California and Okinawa
