In the NY Times *twice* this week

First I'm mentioned in NY Times' blog The Caucus in Richardson Keeps Up a Cheerful Pace

For his final stop of the night, Mr. Richardson’s S.U.V. convoy — noticeably smaller than those of the other candidates — pulled into the parking lot of the Cinemagic IMAX movie theater in Hooksett where he mingled with a small crowd in the lobby not far from the popcorn and soda machines.

Marc Nozell, 49, who lives in nearby Merrimack brought his three sons to meet Mr. Richardson even though Mr. Nozell has already decided to vote for Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. A campaign aide snapped a photo of the four of them with the candidate.

As he walked out of the theater, Mr. Nozell was laughing. The aide had left one of his sons out of the picture, but he was still pleased that Mr. Richardson had time to pose with them. Though, he said, it might not bode well for his campaign.

“If you are a candidate you don’t want to be accessible at this point,” he said. “You want to be a rock star like Obama or Hillary.”

Griffin was standing right next to Richardson's left. Here is the photo:



BTW, he got my age wrong.

And then today a photo in the online version of nytimes.com shows our entire family at the Hillary Primary party at Southern NH University.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr & Kerry Kennedy

Originally uploaded by marcn

This afternoon at the Nashua Public Library, Robert F. Kennedy Jr , Kerry Kennedy and Kathleen Kennedy Townsend were discussing why they are Hillary Clinton. At first it looked like it was going to be two other people and myself, but then twenty or so GMU students stopped in.

Hillary

Originally uploaded by marcn

There was a Hillary Clinton event at the Nashua airport this morning. She hasn't changed her speech very much and took a bunch of questions from the crowd.

Two reporters interviewed me mostly interested in knowing what I thought of the 3rd place finish in Iowa and if she should change her message.

All the photos are here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/marcn/sets/72157603630786244/

Updated to Wordpress 2.0

As with previous Wordpress upgrades this one was also painless.  My 'Yet Another Daily Delicious' and 'Yet Another Weekly Delicious' continue to work also.
I've not yet restored the style sheet header (this one) or added back some of the other doodads.

The free (as in beer), Windows-only app autostitch does an excellent job stitching the photos together. Autostitch works great using the wine emulator on Linux (Ubuntu/Breezy)

The last couple of weekends have been busy, but Griffin and I found some time today to continue documenting the Turkey Hill Graveyard.

We are about 1/4 of the way through with 94 photos and with the school year rapidly approaching, this looks like a multi-year project.
