I was breathless

Friends,

I have just returned from one of the most electric evenings of my life.It was a long night but worth every bit of it. I went to see Hillary in person. I had to park about 3 blocks away - and walked it - both ways - I took my cane and of course the soon to be named machine - but I made it.

Hil was late but what politician isn't - so the wait was very long. I spoke to a woman who had been in line since 2 in the afternoon - they didn't open the doors until 7 PM. I just walked around everyone with my cane and the maching hanging off my shoulder and no one said a thing.

I did find a very helpful aspect to the machine - I found a Hillary Staff member and he was very cute - and with big sad eyes, my cane and the machine - asked him if there wasn't some way to get a chair to sit on - it was in a HS gym - bleachers were certainly invented by the Nazis - he introduced himself - Andrew - and said "come with me". The night was certainly looking up. He took me to a section for press only - it was elevated and I could see the stage very well - he got me a chair and stopped back twice to make sure I was ok.

Henry Cisneros was the first speaker - and he was wonderful - then he introduced Delores Huerto - the co-founder of the United Farm Workers Union - just to be in the presence of someone who changed the face of America was quite special for me. She then introduced out Lt. Gov. and she in turn introduced Chelsy and Hillary.

The evening sent chills up and down my spine. I was enthralled - and convinced - it was a very special night.

Now since I admit to an addiction - that of internet video games - and I found BINGO last night and spent till 3 am playing - I am off to bed.

Thank you all for being in my life - keep the suggestions for names coming in - and I will write again soon. Tomorrow - I will add pictures of the machine - just to end any curiousness.

Love - Chuck
