Funds raised for Children’s National and #Georgetown #Lombardi. #ThankYou #Hoyas. #GoodTimes and #DoingGood. I’d love to see a 24 hour #danceathon. I’d be there but have a #PhysicalTherapist there to get me in the car home! 💃🏽🕺

From a car #window ~ “I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes; I saw the sign…Life is demanding without understanding,
I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes; I saw the #sign;
No one's gonna drag you up
To get into the light where you belong ~ But where do you belong?”
Gotta open it up, Folks!
