which I found online, and, while they do deliver for several restaurants on Capitol Hill, they seemed to think I was nuts for wanting to get something delivered tonight.

I also wonder about the security issue. When we were in DC, even with our son (working for Sen. Feingold) leading us around, security for the Capitol, particularly anywhere NEAR the Senate floor, was incredibly tight. How could they be assured that the wonderful coffee that we sent wasn't really a thermos full of Ebola Virus?

ANOTHER PROBLEM, my son just called me back (I had called him to see if he knew of any place that could deliver - he's here in the WI office, now, was in the DC office for summer) - he said that they probably wouldn't be able to accept anything, given the Senate Ethics involved - they shouldn't get gifts as a reward for having a certain position on an issue. I'm sure that not all of the Senators are absolute sticklers, but if they're anything like Feingold, they wouldn't even SMELL the coffee without violating their own codes of conduct.

So I guess I'm going to be the wet blanket again and say I think it's a no go.
