Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

I take it you haven't gotten the locals who don't want to canvass to cook you food. Quality varies, but it offers a break from the pizza.

If you want some amusement, find some longtime staffers and look at their before pictures from a year ago. Start an office pool on estimating their weight gain.

Those folks in the snow could have been me in December and January in NH. Lately I haven't been doing much canvassing, just cutting turfs to torture the walkers. I'm seeing google maps with little colored dots in my sleep. Really.

No. :(  Too bad, too, because the office is in a densely Jewish neighborhood.  Now I'm drooling just thinking of the food I'm missing out on.  

Though I will confess, there is a super middle-eastern joint a few blocks away we usually hit on the way home. :)

LOL!  You do that too?  We don't have an office pool, but I am keeping track in my head.  I've even noticed it in Obama.

I've done both, and I think I'd rather be canvassing, so long as the weather is ok.  But yeah.  Walk-sheets are showing up in my dreams...

Thank god it is almost over.

Hey!  I went to Indiana this weekend and two little old ladies cooked soul food for us!
