Obamania

Andrew, Mali, and Rian have been volunteering for the Obama campaign. So far they've worked at a voter registration booth at a Hillsboro street fair, and Andrew worked a phone bank one evening. He is thrilled his time there counts as service-learning hours for high school. He's hoping to get 200 hours in before he graduates.

Mali is hoping to follow Andrew and Rian's lead and start working at Garlic Jim's with them. The new one Rian's parent's bought is a lot closer - though still not the one that delivers to us here.

Andrew worked on his driving Saturday - driving me all the way to Rian's house. At just over walking speed it took all of 5 minutes. We all joined him there later for a very fun night of cards and pizza.
