Tomorrow morning at 4:30 am, I get up and off to Boston Logan to pick up my grandson Sam who is returning from a trip out west to do a road trip from Seattle to Bozeman, Montana. We only got to see him briefly two weeks ago when he returned from the Netherlands, but now I think he will be home for the summer. I think he will probably sleep all the way home from the airport, so conversations might have to wait. I am just so excited to have him home for a bit and to catch up on his experiences of the past year.
But tonight, I had better get myself to bed. And because of that, this will be another very short log. I spent the entire morning in an Encore Board meeting. Only one more of those in June. In the afternoon I attended a webinar to learn about Ground Truth. It is a form of door-to-door canvassing based on deeply listening to voters to develop trust and the hope in the long-term is to find a way to repair the Democratic brand. I am not so much interested in that as I am in their infrastructure for listening. I didn’t learn as much as I had hoped on the webinar, so I will have to do a bit of research. For now, however, I am signing off and going to bed. More tomorrow.
