Thanks- I feel horrible not being there. Doing this for my Dad and brother I understand that every little bit counts regardless of the race- plus there's not a candidate (outside family) that I think more highly of than your guy. I was really looking forward to having you guys in my back yard- makes me look more important than I am. I was also looking for a tin of cookies- truth be told. Anyway, I know I'm no big deal to the Nation's best Mayor, but he's a big deal to me, and I hate not being there when asked. Ill try to make it up to you somehow.

Hunter, Eric let me know and I completely understand. I am so grateful for the help -- and hope we have an opportunity to see one another again soon.

Bari-
Really sorry I won't be there in person. Very good friend's mother died unexpectedly. We are rounding up checks nevertheless and will send someone to represent us besides Chris. Again I apologize- was very much looking forward to seeing you and the Mayor.

Hi -- looking forward to seeing you both on Thursday. Really trying to get a sense of numbers -- how many commitments for people do you think you have?

Eric and Hunter, thanks so much!
