Today I met John Kerry

[abilouise]

And I didn't say "my friend works with your daughter and says she's really nice", nor did I say "if reelected, what would you do that you haven't done in the past 18 years?", which were the two things I came up with to say.  There was a meet-the-candidate gathering at Mt. Vernon restaurant for delegates to the state convention, and it was fun, and I got some good time meeting the city committee's new chair, kate chang, and got to catch up with some folks.  Adam Sweeting, who I just found out is a Humanities professor at BU, and who was very sympathetic about Jake's job search, and who is on Ward 3 school committee says that I should tell my friends who have concerns about Somerville Public Schools to call or email him.  Contact information can be found here: http://www.somerville.k12.ma.us/education/dept/dept.php?sectiondetailid=6062 

Denise Provost has her braces off (unimportant except to her) and is gathering signatures for reelection (important for many).  If you're in the district and would like to sign, plan to run into me sometime, ok?

I have now personally met and all of my elected representatives except for George Bush.  I'm happy to keep it like that.

Also, chenoameg, I have two ideas for ways that we could combine forces for the power of Good.  Let's chat sometime.

I don't recall getting an invitation to today's event. Oh that is because my Ward Chair never turned in the forms saying who won the caucus in our ward.

My invitation was a phone message yesterday from Carleen. But I can vouch that your ward chair knew about the event enough to show up at it.

I'm interested in signing.

And in chatting.

I don't know if instant messaging is a good way for you to communicate, but I have the same username on AIM as I do here.

Do you include the Middlesex DA in that set of all of your elected representatives? If so I'd be curious where you met him, he didn't seem to campaign much, just scare off all the other candidates with his rockstar fundraising.

Did you meet Mike Callahan during the Jehlen race?

phooey! stupid logic. I've never met Gerry Leone, and I have no idea about Mike Callahan.
