New/old digs...
I'm sitting in Room 215 in the Cannon House Office Building, former Congressman Rob Simmons' old office - and soon to be newly-elected Congressman Joe Courtney's new offices. His staff literally picked up the keys to the office about an hour ago and have begun the process of setting up shop to conduct the people's business.
Right now, the place is pretty stark. The walls are bear and only a couple of desks show any signs of life. Boxes are the most obvious decoration in the place. The phones work, they're checking on the computers - and searching for the Connecticut State flag. Every House member has his/her state flag outside the office door in the hallway. The thought is that Connecticut's flag that will soon adorn the entrance is located somewhere in the storage area.
The Congressman is attending a special mass at this time at Trinity University. Later this afternoon he has a Democratic caucus meeting scheduled with the other members of the new Democratic majority that will be sworn in tomorrow.
