i think if i every have the chance, i would like to remind him of our first meeting. not because i think i am so memorable, but because he has such a great memory, i am sure the memory would bring a smile to his face.
i attended a rally of the dupage democrats, when that was barely a thing. (il 6, formerly represented by henry hyde :puke
i listened to his state senate colleagues heap praise on him. who is this obama dude, anyway? somewhere i have some blurry photos of him onstage that night.
at the end of the rally i was hanging w christine cegelis who was running for congress at the time. he came up and we three had a brief chat, of which i remember nothing but that smile.
as everyone was leaving i was circling the parking lot in my art car- the beat bush mobile. covered in bumper stickers, including several of his.
i drove and honked and waved, and happened to be passing the entrance as he was leaving. the car got a big smile and a wave.
since then i have been to many funders and rallies, including some that were very small. i lost count of how many times i got to just shake his hand, 8-10 or so. i have a great pic from one rally that the hubby took that i really cherish.
i also pissed off the secret service to get his autograph. on michelle's book.
cherish that quite a bit, too.
