For personal reasons, I need to return to the West Coast on a full time basis.  I will be available this week and next at my usual place near Dupont Circle Monday-Friday, between 11AM and 5PM.  I look forward to seeing my existing friends, as well as those of you that I haven't met yet.

Washington DC is a wonderful city, and I have seen so many great things here in DC that I would have never seen as just a tourist.  From braving the cold on Inauguration Day, to the cherry blossoms.  Even the roar of helicopters screaming up the Potomac while eating lunch at Tony & Joe's restaurant in Georgetown (my favorite!).

Words cannot describe the wonderful friends that I have met here in DC.  You know who you are, and I will miss you deeply.  I look forward to keeping in contact, and I do plan on visiting Washington DC every 60 days or so.

So, here's my "hats off" and resounding CHEERS to a great city with great people, whether I have met you or not.  I am truly honored to have been in your company for the past year.  All the best!

Xoxoxo, Katie

Sorry we didn't get to know each other better. Hopefully we'll be able to get together on one of your return visits.
