John and I went out to a political event. Jeff Merkley is running for U.S. Senate, hoping to unseat the Republican incumbent, Gordon Smith. It was in Chinatown and the delicious margaritas were coming by the pitcher. I had a lot of fun, chatting with folks. Then, a couple of new folks joined the group...one of whom said he had graduated from Willamette University, where Adam had spent his first two years. And, OF COURSE, the young man (Cole) was a good friend of Adam's. What a small world...not only that in Portland, but...this young man lives in Washington, DC, currently, working for Congresswoman Darlene Hooley. He was in town visiting his identical twin brother, who works for Jeff Merkley.
We went out afterward and had some delicious Chinese food...it WAS Chinatown, after all. We called Adam and told him that we had just met one of his friends; had a good laugh about it.
Then arrived home the same time as Bonnie did (she had just arrived in town for spring break the night before), who had just gone out with a friend to see "Miss Pettigrew".
Great evening, overall.
What a small world.

It does sound like a lot of fun, and you support my kind of candidates!
