hello, du

[arely staircase]

Hope you are all well. I left here in June to focus on some personal issues. I am looking forward to returning to lively but civil discussions. When I left I was very touched by the well wishes of even those I often got crossways with. We worked really hard for the Dems in Texas this year and still lost big. Even with this loss we are marching forward. As Churchill said 'never, never, never give up!'

1. Nice to see you back.

Thanks for your work advancing the democratic cause. It's hard to fight and lose but harder to remember you didn't bother trying...

2. Good to see you, arely! And, I know you worked hard in Texas!

Nope, Never Ever Give Up! After the initial shock and ensuing catatonia.. we're bouncing right back.
