Secretary Gates comes to the Capitol

In case you wanted to know, I respect the Secretary of Defense. He's pretty much the man. Today he came to the Capitol to speak to the interns; after some short introductory remarks, he answered questions for about 45minutes. While he was there, I was assigned to run a microphone around the room. No, I didn't meet him "officially" (whatever that means). Ha ha. It was good.

And just so you know, I am the worst "bouncer" ever. For 15 minutes before Gates arrived, I was in-charge of keeping the interns out of the back door (aka they would try to come in the wrong door). I pretty much let in anyone who pleaded with me for more than 5 minutes (about 6-8 people). I know, it's bad. But, I felt better about myself and now I have some more friends.
