Yesterday was fun filled for me but less so for those working behind the scenes at the Convention. After a delicious meal at Rioja on Larimer in Denver we went back to the hotel and soon to sleep when our favorite Santa Cruz fundraiser, Steering Committee member and all around wonderful person Angela Chessnut called to say she was still working at the Pepsi Center -- since 7AM. OUCH. So what else could we do but join her for a drink. That was a blast, we met great people from AFT or NEA or another teacher's union.
In what may be a pattern this week in Denver, in the late evening we were at last finding our way to the Sheraton when we were stopped by an old buddy from Santa Cruz Ericson Albrecht who was elected a delegate from LA. Finally we made it back in time to watch the Men's Basketball final on TV. Whew, close game -- but like Obama's policies, the US came first. Denver: very pretty town, snowcapped mountains amidst endless flat plains. The city seems to be all about Obama all of the time. Merchandise is available everywhere -- Obamamania may also make a few folks in Denver some bucks, but that's only fair. Cops. cops. and more cops. Thunder but very little rain. Steppin out for some culture. KC
