Last night I phonebanked out of Harvard Law School, and by sheer coincidence the group was covering Ward 4-1 — my neighborhood. After spending a week in South Carolina campaigning for Obama, it was refreshing (and fun!) to call around to my own neighbors. (People are also less likely to hang up on you right [...]
All of our photos from South Carolina (Flickr)
I’ve been linking to my photo sets on Facebook, but the Flickr photos are more complete and (in most cases) higher resolution.
After a harrowing drive last night through a snowstorm in Connecticut, we made it to Philly and crashed with some Obama buddies and were back on the road this morning at 9. Eleven hours later and we were in Columbia, SC, staying with a local Democratic resident.
Obama HQ was hopping this Friday night, and we [...]
On Friday we are taking a leap of faith and driving down to South Carolina to volunteer for a week with the Obama campaign. We don’t even know where we’ll be (one of the four urban field offices, most likely), but we are excited to do our part in writing a new future for our [...]
“I think I file these cases so I can see my mother.” I was talking to Rachel this morning on the steps of the Queens County Supreme Court, where the judge had just adjourned the case of my application for guardianship of my grandmother — my mother’s mother — to January. I wasn’t surprised that [...]
Professionals doing their own work is a funny thing: on the one hand, you often read about architects who design their own homes. On the other hand is the saying “The doctor who treats himself has a fool for a patient.” Well, on Friday I eschewed the DIY approach and retained an attorney in New [...]
I’ve been working on a monster post about my trip to Singapore and Taiwan, but first, here are pic’s (on Facebook):

I’m not into hyperbole, but “pretty bad flight” doesn’t make for much of a blog post.
My flight from LA to Hong Kong sat on the tarmac for about 2 1/2 hours while an engineer twiddled with one of the engines. I’m of a few minds on this. On the one hand, I’m all for engines [...]
I’m not sure whether it was sleeping wrong, running 7 miles, moving my sister’s boxes, or watching “Transformers,” but sometime on Sunday I pulled or tore a muscle in my neck/shoulder area. Boy, is that a pain! Losing the ability to turn your head means doing full-body turns to check for oncoming traffic when crossing [...]
I’m excited that my sister Amy will be coming up to Boston, where she just got a job with Common Impact as a consultant. I’m a big fan of Common Impact, not just because we are friends with its founder/CEO, but also because as someone who’s been in nonprofits and nonprofit IT, I know that [...]
