Hey folks,
Just thought I'd update a bit on what I've been doing. The picture is from this past Saturday. I went canvasing door to door in our old neighborhood to see who was going to vote for Obama. I would write down each person on my clipboard and what issues they cared about. Some people said 'the economy', some said 'the environment', and some said 'abortion'. Since I have a lot of free time I figured I would help out with the Obama campaign. It was interesting to talk to people. Some people were going to vote for Obama and some people were going to vote for McCain. Everyone was very nice. It was hot though. Obama is going to be in St. Louis tomorrow but I am not going to see him. I don't really get too excited about seeing 'famous' people. I figure they are just like you and me. They eat, poop, and sleep.
It was really nice to talk to you both yesterday. I loved hearing from Adele about your new condo and the playroom. Clem, I was so glad to talk to you. I've missed you a lot and am so excited to be able to give you both big hugs and play when I come out in November. It isn't fun being away from you for so long. If we all hang in there it will get better and I'll be able to visit more often. I am setting things set up so I can do that. But it may take a while.
