We were talking about this yesterday at the Easter get-together. My husband is 73, and he’d rather die than still work or get into politics, lol. He just wants to chill.

    I worked on Capitol Hill and it literally is a sickness/addiction. And it’s not just the members, the intoxicating effect impacts staffers, too. It’s kind of like religion. It’s really hard to get people out of it once they’ve started. It’s suddenly the only reason you feel valuable. People turn to look when you walk in the room. All that bullshit.
