19. LOL! Yeah, what IB said
Size does matter, as does an innate sort of feistiness that means you never say quit. (I like that.)

Your Congressional district is bigger than my whole state? OMG! I didn't know that. I knew that states outside of New England were huge, but, wow, that is a big, big area. How do they do it? Politics itself must be very different. Sen. Kerry can hold a speech at Faneuil Hall or in Worcester and it is accessible to half of the State he represents. That means that he can actually spend less time in Mass because he can reach so many more people in relatively little time. That has to have an effect (or affect) on how his time gets divvied up. Folks who served from the 'Big states' must not have that luxury. Does make you stop and think, doesn't it. (Okay, makes me stop and think. Now I feel lots and lots of Catholic guilt. Ahm, gee. I have seen Sen. Kerry about ten times since April of '04, more or less. It was easy cuz he appears at places that aren't far from where I live, relatively speaking. Ahm, small state advantage? BTW, how does your Congressman campaign? Does he have his own plane to get around or a cool bus or what? How does he do it?)

Seriously, tomorrow is special. I am really looking forward to it. And it's one of the last days I can see Our Intrepid Interns as they must go back home and resume non-intern lives starting next weekend. So, there is also that. I will miss them.
