Personal News - Part XIII

Happy Easter Everyone! Hope your able to spend it with family and friends. My parents and I just finished a nice dinner at my brother and sister-in-laws home, plus we colored eggs for Easter morning consumption. Quick report on weather before I go into other news ... yesterday and today was sunny, 50 degrees, some clouds and lots of wind.

Okay, here now the news ... back on April 6th was the third Exploratory Committee meeting for Rob Jereski's congressional campaign in NYC. I arrived at 6:30pm to find out not only was I on time, but the first to show up. That's novel! The others [ie: Rob, Michael, BC, Andrew, Carol & Ed] showed up and we commenced with the meeting at 7pm. [I also provided some homemade cookies & they were warmly received. Hadn't seen BC since early March Kucinich Meetup. We caught up on news.] Getting down to business ... we reviewed the Agenda, discussed what had been accomplished since the previous meeting [ie: endorsements from Dorsey & Donovan] and we worked on items that need to be accomplished [ie: logo, postcards & website]. Much discussion on several items, especially postcards for handing out to congressional district constituents. Key roles were discussed within committee, plus upcoming opportunities [ie: Dean Meetups] and the first official fundraiser is April 23rd [7pm] at Rob's place. If you or someone you know would be interested in attending, contact Rob at mutualaid@earthlink.net. We also learned that the congressional NYC primaries is set for September 17th. After several folk left around 9pm ... Michael, Rob and I discussed other topics like the endorsement database, etc. Stay tuned for news on next meeting........

Brief Note ... Well, so much for picking up and continuing to read THE GUNS OF AUGUST by B.Tuchman. [I will finish it sometime this year.] Yesterday I purchased a book I'd been looking for called "Mark Twain - On the Damned Human Race" edited by Janet Smith and originally released back in early 1960s. My interest was peaked again regarding Twain after seeing Bill Moyer's interview actor Hal Holbrook on NOW [PBS station - Friday nights]. Holbrook has been doing a one-man show on the famous American writer for last 40 to 50 years.
