Hey Liss,Made of awesome.
So, I work at the National Press Building, and I go to the gym upstairs at the Press Club (even though I am not technically a member). In the elevator there are announcements for Press Club events like quiz night, dinners, speakers, etc. My eyes happened to light on one as I was on my way back down today, and I noticed that the speaker for Tuesday the 22nd was listed as "Ben Grumbles." In spite of the jaunty nickname, it's obvious from the topic of the talk that this is none other than dear old Benjamin H.
BENJAMIN H. GRUMBLES. IN MY FUCKING BUILDING.
Another Shaker who's a friend of mine said "you should show up with a parasol and a monocle. The first for you, the latter for him." Sadly I will be out of town so I can't, but I was so delighted that I just had to tell you.
