How it works: Not feeling 100% I had a short day on Wednesday. I met with a few staffers and then went to the elevator. CMan Johnson and an aide were waiting also.

Using Sick Days: Somewhere between the 10 days in New Hampshire and 4 days at CPAC, I caught a cold and thus took off most of this week. At my age, I don’t push it.
