DC will miss you! But, excited to read about your TX adventures. PS – I can’t believe you missed a whole quadrant! You never went to H Street? I bet you were in NE at some point on Cap Hill without realizing it
Such a good point. I did go to H street. Edited
That’s a great summary! I am sure you will look back at those four years with a smile and be so glad you did it! And what a great period with inauguration and everything. My uncle used to tell his nieces to leave a party while you’re still having fun so you remember it as a great time. But welcome back to Dallas!
