This is a general call-for-participation that I've put out in several venues:

It's getting close to election time and I'm getting nervous. I live in NH, a swing state that went Dem last election, and I want to invite you to come help swing it Obama/Biden. I'm doing some work for the campaign and if you want to join me -- for a weekend or even longer -- I'm happy to house you, feed you, etc. Spread the word, too -- I'll take strangers in and will find other places for folks to stay.
Get in touch with me if you're interested.

This man, here with Simone, is now Father to his own baby. Congratulations, Johnny and Dina, on the arrival of Townes, 12 June! (we expect a baby blog to be up in no time -- your public awaits.)
