Last night, after a joint meeting of a number of Pike Creek and Wilmington area Democratic Representative District committees, the first of the 41 Representative Districts in Delaware to endorse candidates for statewide office made its endorsements. I am very proud that the 13th district, representing the Elsmere area, endorsed me for Lieutenant Governor.

One of the things that I took away from the meeting was that it really is remarkable how many good candidates the Democratic party has, up and down the ticket. Primary elections are hard on the party, but I believe more than ever after listening to the candidates last night that we are going to be in great shape in November.

Now that I have shared that good news, I am tempted to go back to bed. However, three year old Adam woke up at 2 a.m. with a bad fever, and after some medicine and a miserable lukewarm bath, came to sleep with mom and dad. Lenny saw this as unjust, so given the circumstances he was permitted out of his dog bed and into the marital bed. So now that I am up, there is no room for me. If you see me nursing a Wawa’s 20 oz. coffee today like it is a fine red wine, you will know why.
