as many of you know, after returning from india in december i crawled into a cave in beautiful north carolina and hibernated while i considered my next move. well spring is here and i’ve reemerged, a little groggy, but energized and excited about the season.

after having galloped around the world, spending time in everyone else’s capital, i decided to spend some time in my own. so meet washington dc. my new city. i’ve come for a job. and i intend to stay here. that is until the job has me flying back to india to seek out the best location to develop new programs. i’ll be going back and forth between this great country and that one. and i’m excited about the marriage of the two. mother india meet the forefathers. let’s all be one big happy family.

i’m settling into an apartment on the northwest side (to many here, the only side), and look forward to welcoming all of you soon. my family will land first. coming for memorial day to usher in the summer and a washington monumental birthday for me. three decades complete. chapter 30. i expect all of you to follow closely behind.

in the 80s i called tennessee home. in the 90s north carolina. the 00s led me to illinois. and i begin the 10s here in the district. the smallest and most powerful of places. come visit! let’s go to the mall together and not even spend a dime. let’s celebrate democracy! the party’s on. you’re invited! come be an american.
