Today, 10,000 books arrive at the warehouse. A thousand are scheduled to be shipped to Amazon, two Honor Flight hubs and retailers by Monday so I am delighted that the production of this new edition went so smoothly. I am also proud that the new books are much stronger and exactly the same weight.  The only change is that there are forty rather than thirty to a carton.

I’ve been digitizing a few of my images and was thinking during the Holiday break that I might have a book after thirty years in Washington.  In fact, I do…or will…. The new book is password protected and the website will contain additional information and have downloadable GPS tours of the photography.  All of the new cameras and phones are set up for GPS data and I think this will make for an interesting exercise. The preview can be seen at DCPHOTOBOOK.COM. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to write.

For Dole watchers, the Senator was out and about on Capitol Hill introducing Senator Tom Daschle, former Senate Majority Leader and Democrat, who has been nominated to Secretary of Health. Senator Daschle was recruited to Alston and Byrd by Senator Dole who has always worked in a bi-partisan fashion to get a lot accomplished.  Looks like he did it again!
