Ok not all we do is entirely fun

Yesterday the Multnomah County Democratic Executive Committee met all day for our re-organizational meeting - to put out and discuss ideas on where we are going, how to get there, what we did that worked , did not work, etc. during the last year and what changes we see as necessary.

I would not call it a fun day - but it was a good day - many ideas were put forth and discussed. We chatted through lunch and also used that time to catch up on missed phone calls...[how did we ever survive without cell phones?]

My personal feeling was that it was a very productive day....so can it be described as fun? I'll let the participants comment on that...

And as usual photos will appear as soon as I can get to that task.

YES - IT IS OFFICIAL

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA.....

can't say that enough times!

photos and video from one pdx watching spot will get posted when I get it edited...
