Dean 2004 Meetup

Last night I attended my first meetup for Dean. There were eight scheduled in the Dover-Portsmouth area, including Durham, but I chose to attend the one in Newmarket.
There were eight of us, including one Dean staffer and two interns (from New York and Ohio) and our task for the night was to get an update on future events, sign and address letter to undecided Democratic voters and commit ourselves to future work. I agreed to do "comfort driving" on election day. That is, to drive people needing a ride and bring poll workers food.
Hopefully, Winnie the Deanmobile will be back on the road by then.
It was getting close to 10 degrees when I headed out. When I came out of the bookstore/cafe, it had begun to snow and blow. It's not quite light enough yet to see how much we got, but it's sure to be pretty.
The Omi has finally realized that "we are having a REAL winter." The house is toasty, with two wood stoves going and her room continues to maintain a steady 70 degrees with the electric strip. The room is so small, the charges hardly make a dent in the overall electric bill.
Time to deliver the morning pils. So, more later.
I am hoping to get the Dean plates later this week.
