Campaign item #1: my boys met Spiderman at Newark Community Day yesterday. Spiderman, who should have been paid big-time for running around in a superhero costume in 93 degree heat, high-fived the boys, gave them autographed comics, and they are still talking about it. This was just short of Sesame Street Live in terms of heart palpitatations.

Campaign item #2: we are running out of time to have campaign fundraisers, so we are squeezing in one at the home of my friends Bob and Kate Pincus. It is a week from Sunday, September 28th, from 5 to 7 p.m. (yes, we have scheduled it so that people can fill their bellies and get home in time for the Sunday night Eagles game). It is $200 to attend, which I know is a lot of money but we are in crunch time now, folks. You can RSVP by clicking here. And, of course, if you would like to contribute any other amount, you can do it at the same link.
