Long-time reader, first-time writer. My day job is being a lawyer for the federal government (Dep't. of Health and Human Services) making sure the trains run on time for the Medicare and Medicaid programs. In past lives I've been a lobbyist for a media-related public interest organization, a law school lecturer in Sofia, Bulgaria, a staffer for two members of Congress., and an usher at the Hollywood Bowl. Favorite writers are the three Ds: Dickens, Dostoevsky, and De Balzac. :)
