Connecticut Political Gossip
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Thu, 06/02/2005 - 08:12Updated to fix error. (See Comments)
(Note: I don't usually go for political gossip, and I'm not Wonkette, nor is this as juicy, but there is a bunch of political gossip going around that I thought should be shared.)
Last night, the Torrington DFA Meetup had various candidates speaking about their campaigns. Mayor DeStefano was there and in my role as BlogMaster for the DeStefano campaign I attended. However, the interesting parts of the Meetup weren’t Mayor DeStefano's stump speech. Sure, many people spoke with me afterwards saying, "He’s good." Instead, the political gossip was what captured a lot of people's attention.

Homeless Children, International, Redux
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Wed, 06/01/2005 - 14:44Early last month, I wrote this blog entry about Homeless Children, International - Kenya.
Today, I received an email from Megan White that Channel 12 will be showing a brief clip about her work starting this evening at around 5:20, and continuing for the next day.
If you get a chance, please check it out.

Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Thu, 05/26/2005 - 22:39Today, I got an interesting email. It was from Margie Ware in Williamstown, Massachusetts. She had read my blog post about the Massachusetts Democratic State Platform Convention and had heard from someone that I had grown up in Williamstown.
We have sent a few emails back and forth in which I acknowledged growing up in Williamstown and she has pointed me to her blog, MargeBlog. I started reading the most recent post. It is about having coffee and stopping at the Post Office on Spring Street. I remember going down to Spring Street. I remember the Post Office. I remember the discussions that would happen as you ran into friends and neighbors on the street. It is a great post.

Random Home Stuff
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Thu, 05/26/2005 - 13:45Well, I'm at home today, fighting off a stomach bug that Kim brought back from her vacation. Fighting a cold on a dreary rainy day isn't good for the spirits, and I need to be upbeat for a few friends that are having worse times than I am.
Fortunately, two good things happened in the past couple of days that is helping keep my spirits up. Sometime ago, we were approached by someone who wanted to use our house for a movie they were working on. It never materialized. However, people remembered our house and we have been approached again for a similar project. It is a long shot, but it is fun and exciting.
