Volunteers, hacking up a lung, etc.

Hi Everybody!

First, I have to come clean and let you know that I couldn't walk yesterday because the entire day was spent on a 2300 piece mailing to voters. More on that, later, but it needed to be done and I thought it would be better for the long-term volunteer effort if I did it with them. You know, teamwork and all that.

Second, after consultation with Dr. Leigh, I won't be walking today because I have a cold that is making me cough and sniffle, quite a lot. Honestly, I feel fine to walk, and was planning to do 1-4 today, but I agre with Leigh that I would probably lose more votes than I would gain as I coughed all over at least 15-20 of my potential future consituents. And hand shaking? Forget about it!

So I'll do other things today, and will be back on the walking trail tomorrow.

The mailing was awesome. Special thanks to volunteers Rick, Kathleen, Greg, Nate, Jim (one of my Rotary Club buddies!), Brianna, Leigh, JS (my secret helper) and Christine. With their help, we put out the first major communication of the campaign. And, with enough volunteers, we were able to finish on time (roughly one minute before we were secheduled to stop) and had a good time. It was all very exciting, and I will always remember that these were the people who showed up for the campaign's very first volunteer activity.

This week, there will be lots of walking, calling people, and getting ready for the campaign's first public event -- "Pizza & Politics with Sean Spence" at Shakespeared downtown, 5:30-7:00 this Thursday, February 7th. Especially if you live in the 25th district and want to get to know me better, please stop by.

Thanks for your time. Have an awesome Sunday!
