This week has been rather quiet on the campaign trail. Work is another story – it’s always a zoo after being out on vacation.
Tuesday was the Culver’s fundraiser. The weather was beautiful and the place was busy all day long. I’m looking forward to finding out the final donation amount; it was really nice of them (running friend Tony and his family) to take part and gift 10% of the day’s sales to LLS. Given the fact that Tony has had to put up with me on many runs over the last couple years, you’d think he’d keep on running. The other way.
Jen sent out the newsletter to us today. Allow me to share it with you in conclusion to today’s BriefFRIDAY:
