Maine U.S. Senator King to Host 'Capitol Coffee with Angus'

One of my favorite episodes of 'The West Wing' was about ‘Big Block of Cheese Day.’ The whole point of the episode was that groups that might not normally make it into the White House had a chance to meet with someone in the administration. As much of the staff did not want to do it, in the end, everyone learned something new about the world. Senator Angus King is doing something similar, but with coffee.

Congratulations to Franklin Altenative School in Auburn. Ten Franklin Alternative School students are going to President Barack Obama's inauguration ceremony. Some students at the school are really into civics, loved the mock debates and elections and the political process in general, so the school wanted these enthused students to go to D.C. for the Presidential inauguration.

Historic Balloon Jump Gives Reminder of Trip to Washington DC and the Smithsonian

Watching Felix Baumgartner do the 24 mile high skydive yesterday reminded me of the movie at the Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum. The Air and Space Museum has a few IMAX films they show, but for some reason the two times I’ve gone I've seen the same film entitled ‘To Fly.’ The film goes from balloon travel to the NASA space shuttles.
