I have visited Washington, D.C. so many times I have lost count!
As a child I visited with schoolmates on school
field trips.
As an adult I have visited to attend plays, go to
museums, visit the monuments, walked in the 2003 AIDS Walk, attend the
Taste of DC Food Festival (which no longer exists),
attend sporting events, attend parties at co-workers homes, attend
company holiday parties, attend birthday dinners (celebrated my 46th birthday at
B. Smith’s in Union Station - now closed) and to get
the Turkey Cowboy Platter from
Capital Q (now closed).
As an adult I have worked as an IT
Consultant/Trainer for many different agencies/companies through various
companies, especially for the VA through OASAS, the FRB through TTA from
2018 to 2020, and then as a full time contractor with at the FRB
