    Getting ready for RaleighFwd

    Just getting set up from home before heading downtown Raleigh for mobile coverage. Read Zephyr Teachout's earlier post Raleigh joins National Grassroots Effort to Nationalize Banks for background.

    Thanks, Greg

    You're a good trooper.

    Dang it, Greg

    I didn't realize that was you. It's a little late, but:

    "Hey, man! It's Steve! (shake shake) I'm glad I came out today. This is really cool." :)

    Hey Steve

    Good to see you. Sorry I didn't stick around. I had to get on the road. I'm in Charlotte for a quick visit for a surprise birthday party. Sorry Betsy, no time to go visit as we have to be back in Raleigh for lunch but if you can make it to Tutto Mondo I'll buy you a drink.

    Dangit! Sorry I missed you

    I hurt my foot this morning and I've been hobbling around in circles cussing all day. I couldn't actually do anything, but I didn't want to sit...so I hobbled. I can't put on a shoe yet, so no public outings for me unless I am allowed to walk in barefoot.

    Shoes

    The shoes here are so minimal that barefoot & a few Sharpie lines would work.

    I can do barefoot and sharpies

    but barefoot is how I got in this mess in the first place.

    A News 14 reporter

    made the mistake of interviewing me, and he said the story should be on tonight at 9 p.m.

    I talked for...well, possibly too long. Don't get me started. But my involvement may be reduced to, "Strange-looking middle-aged male is inordinately pleased with himself over finding plastic egg."

    And I was.

    Be sure to YouTube it.

    Oh Lord

    Submitted by scharrison on Sat, 04/11/2009 - 7:26pm.

    They're already showing me looking for eggs and then showing off the one I found. I think I said, "Yay! I found an egg."

    Whatever. I'd rather be a happy idiot than a sad genius. :)

    In case anyone's interested,

    Here's the News 14 clip from yesterday's gathering.

    Good story

    You were great. Thanks for posting this.

    I don't know how

    Submitted by scharrison on Sun, 04/12/2009 - 2:17pm.

    to save the clip, though. My sister out West is a pretty computer-savvy, and she said the way it was set up on their website foiled her attempts to capture it.
