Last night was our fundraiser at Craig and Amy Sternberg’s house. We had a great turnout, but as each person came through the front door, I had to refuse to shake his or her hand because I was sick as a dog. A bunch of the attendees were doctors, including the head of Christiana Hospital’s emergency room, and the thought of smearing my germ-covered hands all over them and then sending them back out to treat patients was too much. Dr. Brian Galinat, an orthopedic surgeon, was one of the last to arrive but demonstrated to me that I could give a Jimmy Rollins-style fist smash to people without spreading germs, so gentlemen got a fist smash on the way out. Fist smashing the ladies seemed wrong.

We only got a few pictures at the event, which are posted here. My favorite picture is this one of me and “Nick the Hat” who is City Councilman Charles Potter’s loyal ally on the campaign trail. I am not entirely sure what Nick the Hat’s last name is—when Charles called to tell me that he would be coming to a prior fundraiser in the city, I asked for his name so we could make a name tag for him, and Charles insisted that he was known simply as Nick the Hat.

Bottom line: great party, made a lot of money for the campaign. Thanks again, Craig and Amy!
