Thank you, Pat. You're right that I help my friends — but the piece runs the other direction. I don't write to help my friends. I write to have more of them. I'd like everyone in government relations in Annapolis to be my friend, and the way you get there is to help people first, the ones you know and the ones you haven't met yet.
Thank you for your honesty in saying that you write what you do to help your friends.
