We've just returned from a fund raising event for Steve Novick, one of two leading candidates seeking the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate from Oregon.  Former Governor John Kitzhaber was the host.  We saw many friends from various parts of our lives there.  If you haven't voted yet be sure you do.  Steve Novick is the only candidate standing up for progressive values with detailed plans for legislation.  That's why I support him.  We need his voice in the United States Senate.

Katherine and Frances, by the way, have become mini-celebrities during this senate race.  A photo of the two of them can be seen on Steve's website and several people came up tonight not to talk to us - the parents - but to shake hands with the twins.
