... Finding Nemo, so I haven't been too anxious yet.  Sometimes it gets a little too high school field trip but it could definitely be much worse.  I think it all depends on if it's when I'm trying to sleep or not.  If it's rowdy and I'm awake, have a blast!  If it's rowdy and I'm trying to sleep, I'm probably fantasizing about horrible things happening to you when you least expect it!  Oh, and now we're pulling over for a dinner break.  Sweet! It's a ...

... it was chilly and Mel even dug out her long trousers and some socks before making dinner. It's hard to imagine that just 2 days ago we were in hot, sunny Florida! Tonight the fan didn't even come out of it's box and the sleeping bags were zipped up. It's been a long time since we had to do that!

I would like to take a short moment to wish each and every one of you a safe and Happy New Year. My New Year's resolution (short term), is to update ya'll a little more regularly. I do have a post written about Oprah, just need to finish it up and get it on here with pictures. In Solidarity, Matt

... the charger goes into is no longer connected and will no longer "link" up. I need a new MAC...plain and simple...and perhaps some cash.....so for those who are wondering what to get Matt for Christmas (an early present will suffice), that is what I am in dire need of. Anyhow...back to Oprah... ML

... above), that if pulled off correctly, this will be the largest political rally attempted since Dwight D. Eisenhower's visit to Columbia in 1952. Excitement is in the air, and our regional offices are being pushed to their limits. The next three days are going to be intense, but will pay off in the end as many of you will be seeing reports from this event on the evening news this Sunday night. With that, I must get back to work. Much love, ML

Oprah is in town this Sunday in Columbia, South Carolina. When she is in town, mayhem ensues. Yesterday, as many of you may have heard, our campaign had to move the event from a 19,000 seat venue to USC-Columbia's Williams-Brice Stadium, an 80,000 person football stadium. The reaction has been overwhelming, and the media is getting every last bit of the Oprah Mania. Below are links to articles hilighting what we are doing here in SC: http ...

The campaign in South Carolina is absolutely heating up....there are momentus things that are about to happen in South Carolina, crazy things that are about to happen.

A new opportunity has presented itself to any interested students, faculty, or family members that can take a week or two off during the holiday season to get involved with Senator Obama's campaign. I am making a plea to those who can come during Thanksgiving or a couple of weeks during Christmas break to help with the campaign in one of the early voting states. You have your choice of Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire ...

... build an S.C. operation. "It's a movement that has been growing by leaps and bounds," Clinton's S.C. spokesman, Zac Wright, said. "It's an encompassing program. It includes grass-roots work, the outreach stuff, having volunteers and staff at (community) events." Wright said Clinton will use traditional tactics combined with Internet technology to draw voters. Clinton, and most other campaigns, have S.C.-centric blogs and use their Web sites to register supporters and volunteers and ...
