To begin our recap of the last week, we start with Saturday night, when I went to a party thrown by a board member of a nonprofit where a friend works.  The party was less than a block from the White House and full of many political folks I probably should have recognized.  While enjoying my first bite of hummus covered carrot, Rev. Jesse Jackson turned to introduce himself. Then, he gave a speech. Then, he took this picture with us. And that is how my inauguration week began.

Stay tuned for more!
