		<description>Ben!! I had no idea you were doing this. This looks great!! This is a great entry too.

I was in DC a few weeks ago and had the wonderful privilege of walking into Senator Ted Kennedy&#039;s office to see all his photos before they were taken down, some to be archived in the Library of Congress. He led such a rich life and did so much for his family, community, and country.

For a little person like me, what can I do to feel that I&#039;ve accomplished even a small fraction of what he did? How do we define &quot;making a difference?&quot; The Japan experience is a great one to highlight. I haven&#039;t felt such a personal sense of impact to individuals&#039; lives since then.

And congrats on the little &#039;un. Had no idea. :) :)

Don&#039;t pay too much attention to the website. I just started that to chronicle my first-time homebuyer experience. I&#039;m closing tomorrow!!

Ciao!
