I&#8217;ve had a couple of stunning days and the little kid smiling at his grandfather in a series of photos which are playing back on a video screen has just uploaded my book to Kindle and set up a Shopify page to sell my paperbacks on my campaign website. Its not quite yet ready for sales but Its several weeks earlier than I expected. I also got my first volunteer knocking on doors today. This person was in the finance end of the State Education Department when I raised hell about the machinations that bulldozed the Red Plan. I didn&#8217;t know who she was when she volunteered for my campaing but was shocked to recognize her name&#8230;..knew it before she even mentioned it. She was someone who knew <em>I knew<\/em> what I was talking about when I took the School Board to court. I was humbled and honored to have her volunteer in the crusade to save us from a much bigger Keith Dixon. <\/p>\n<p>And after three short days I have half as many of my lawn signs up as I put up two years ago when people thought I&#8217;d put up a million of them because they are the best political signs most people have ever seen. I have three months left to put them all up and have an easier to put up sign being created for the larger District. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m going to squeeze in fifteen minutes of French. I can&#8217;t wait to visit the French embassy when I&#8217;m in Congress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Its after ten in the evening and I&#8217;m bushed.
