Thanks for leaving a note for me. Unfortunately I will not be able to make it to your fundraiser as I am working that day, but please rest assured I am donating as much as I can to the campaign and doing what I can here in the south end. Good luck!

Thanks for the invite. Unfortunately I am returning to New Mexico tomorrow. Good luck with the fundraiser and lets keep hoping for an Obama victory in November!

Thanks for your nice note last night. I just sent a note to john in illinois as I still don't see him on the new Field. The only comment I read is that he is still on the old one. Perhaps you have different information? And it does surprise me too that rikyrah is still on the old one. She seemed to be philosophically on the same page with Al --much more so than Tracy and Deb.

And yes, I DO have 7 brothers and 4 sisters! LOL! , It was fabulous growing up with all of them on a big farm as we all worked together well and had a great time playing every sport imaginable and not often needing the neighbors to field a team. It was rarely a topic of conversation back then as most all farm kids had at least 5 brothers and sisters. But then when I moved to the city, it was certainly obvious that it wasn't all that common.

I will let you know if I hear from john in illinois.
Catherine

Things are going ok although I've really ramped up the job search so can't spend as much time on Obama matters lol. Also, I think the primary took alot of emotional energy out of me - defintely need a mini break.

Been lurking however over at Al's place but just too tired to comment.

Wonder where Al is?

(btw, my initial foray into a ning site was when I set this network up on Friday. I'm a newbie, too, just on a steep learning curve!)

Nice to know another Tara Van! I am heading out to your state on Thursday to board an Alaska-bound cruise out of Seattle.
