In just 5-6 hours, there are already 4000+ RSVPS on FB alone (doesn't include Bernie's main page)...and you can usually triple
that number once the rally begins!

11. I hope they set up voter registration and donation tables at this one.

I was at the rally in Phoenix and they didn't have them. Seems like a missed opportunity to me.

12. RSVP's at 12,000 right now; another week to go... (eom)

[merrily]

13. Omigosh. I just noticed we can download a flyer to pass out. I'd better get busy!

14. I wish i could join you guys

I’d be there in a heartbeat if I wasn’t going to a friend’s wedding. I LOVE Boston (and this is from a woman raised on the NY Yankees!). When I was moving back East from California I very nearly ended up there instead of back home in NY. I’m due for another trip (though I will be up for some Boston Early Music Festival gigs later this year).

I’ll be thinking of you and checking posts from my iPhone at the reception!

[merrily]

15. I'm not sure I will be there.

I was never a sports fan, but was raised among Yankee fans and did, in elementary school, fall in love with Baby Ruth, at least as his biographer romanticized him. (My teacher thought I had been reading too many novels.) My son is, of course, a yooge Red Sox fan, so I've had to adjust.

[dorkzilla]

16. Yeah I don’t watch much beyond soccer

and the occasional rugby match. On Sundays sometimes i go to Woodlawn in the Bronx to watch Gaelic Football, but since hubby isn’t at all into sports I don’t go much anymore. Kinda weird to see a middle-aged broad hanging out by herself watching.

Babe Ruth is buried about 5 miles away from where I live and there are always bats and balls people leave on his grave.

Your teacher telling you you read too many novels reminds me of Catherine Morland in Jane Austen’s “Northanger Abbey”.

[merrily]

17. She was not trying to discourage me from reading novels. She just wanted me to add non fiction.

[dorkzilla]

18. Oh I knew it wasn’t discouragement!

Never would the words “you read too much” be uttered by any thinking person, let alone a teacher. At least I hope not.

[merrily]

19. To this day, when I read for pleasure, I read novels. Anything else, I read because I think I should

The funny thing is that the biographies that were recommended for me in elementary school, Lincoln and Babe Ruth, have, in a way, followed me all my life.
