The timber races and NA Field Hunter Championship were so much fun. Out of the top 7 fieldhunters, I think three of them were purebred Irish Draughts and at least one was part-bred Irish. I got my fill of Irish Draughts from both the championships and the IDHSNA inspection I went to on Tuesday.
On Monday, Majority Whip James Clyburn came to speak to TWC interns. He was a very inspirational speaker in speaking about determination in following dreams and obtaining goals. I also went to a tour of the Capitol building on Monday with a group of TWC Political Leadership interns.
At class on Wednesday night we had a "free" man come in to speak about himself and play us music. When he got sick and tired of being a businessman, he sold his business and left town. For the past 13 years, he's given up all materialistic possessions to live on the streets in order to promote his spirit. He has travelled all across the country with just a bike, a guitar, and whatever other instruments he makes along the way. He never puts his hat out to beg for money, though people sometimes give him money or necessities when they see or hear him playing music. He is very involved with the Rainbow Family and attends all the gatherings (including national ones) that he can to pray for peace. Through Steve is spiritual, he doesn't believe in the conformity of religion so he isn't involved with a certain church. He writes and plays spiritual music instead, living with minimal material possessions, not even a watch.
The past three days (including today) I've gotten off work early. Today we had a small birthday celebration for the office secretary since we won't be working on Monday when her real birthday is. My boss was funny today when he was talking about the movie Office Space and as he was walking off we heard him say "I want to be a gangster." That gave us all a good laugh. He also has a wall of framed cartoons with lobbyist themes that he found another one in a newspaper and added to today.
I don't have any real plans for the three-day weekend yet. I'm planning on getting together with some friends tonight, but I'm not sure what we'll be doing though.
