Our house is warm

...or at least lukewarm. We had forty or fifty people through the house on Labor Day weekend. Some of them were our local electeds and hopefuls, and some of them were former Obama volunteers looking for new ways to do good and still jonesing for that electin' folks buzz. Jen has decided to make the world a better place and what she decides to do gets done. And then, of course, some of our guests were our friends who just came to look at the crazy piles of stuff and eat.

Tish James, our council member, stopped by and said a few words. I have to say, it kinda geeked me out that our council member came to our house. We are sooo important!













Jonathan Tasini, Jen's boss (inasfar as anyone is ever the boss of Jen) and U.S. Senate candidate running for the seat currently being warmed by Kirsten Gillibrand, was also there. "I'm crushing her head! I'm crushing her head!" No, he's making a salient point about health care, probably.










And of course, Josh Skaller, running for city council in the 39th. Don't you just want to pinch his cheeks? Park Slope and Borough Park, you could have the cutest council member in the city. Run out and vote!

We started entertaining about one, finished up about 10, collapsed into bed exhausted and addled with drink a few minutes later, and then the neighborhood began to wake up and have its Labor Day celebrations. There was some sort of Celtic band playing into the wee hours. Or perhaps it was a jazz band. You wouldn't think they were at all mistakable for one another, but I was really, really tired.
