And the DC National Guard will be there, but unarmed.

I’m also a New Yorker (Queens). Was in NYC for primary & middle school. When I was in my early teens my Mum died so Dad sent me to live in Ireland. My Aunt & Uncle in Dublin (her sister & brother-in-law) were my guardians; I was at a boarding school in Waterford (where I met the aforementioned electro-ambient musician…

((((HUGS)))) to you.   

Oh that is nice! Thank you.
