Last Friday I had a US Congressman in my car!
Congressman Ed Markey (D-MA) held a fundraiser for our campaign, before which he and Pat stood in Medford Square waving to cars and holding signs. After the stand-out I had the priviledge of driving the Congressman to the restaurant where the fundraiser was being held. Does it make me a total dork to think that's kind of cool?
He's quite a character, too. I got to hear a lot of stories about when he first ran for congress nearly 30 years ago. (He's been in Congress for 29 years and was first elected at age 27. What have you done with your life?) What's was also interesting was that half the people who he mentioned that worked on his various campaigns are now state legislators.
The general election is tomorrow and we're pretty confident of victory. It hasn't been quite as insane leading up to this one as it was with the primary. (This is a good thing.) I also may get some sleep tonight, which would be a nice change from last time.
