I finally get to sleep nights again.
Makes me cry every time. The head of the Delaware Democratic Committee lived the first 22 years of his life on this block.
After I moved off the block I lived on in Wilmington when I was 19, Joe and Jill now live on the block. I feel so involved in all this; especially Erik’ DDC. He and I first met when he came up to my house on his four wheeler in 2008 and couldn’t believe I had an Obama sign in my window, this the reddest county in New York State. I just feel so involved. Now we all need to push for the Georgia special election January 5th.
