I would sure love to sit down at a lunch with Sen. Brown. As a former Ohioan, I've followed his career for a couple of decades now and he gives me much hope for my old home state.
I am green with envy. 
Thanks so much for sharing your pics! |

Maybe 12 miles. And the traffic was light on the way over......much heavier on the way home. But I didn't care!
It was very cool. I normally don't move in those high-powered circles... |

Perhaps he sees himself as more effective in the Senate than as President.
As for being lucky....well, I was invited because I have supported his various campaigns. This was a thank-you luncheon. |

40. Isn't he wonderful?

I'm fortunate enough to call him my senator. Here in NE Ohio we're also blessed to be represented by congressman Tim Ryan, another seemingly real hero of the working class.
I hope you had the opportunity to meet his wife, Connie Schultz. She's an editorialist for the Cleveland Plain Dealer and a genuine nice person without airs or pretensions. She once told the story about how her mother instructed her and her four sisters to watch how a prospective boyfriend treats a waiter or waitress. She advised that the true worth of a man is how he treats someone he's socially allowed to abuse. She assured that Sherrod fit the bill, and love spawned eternal. I took this image when he was running for re-election about 18 months ago as he donned the hat of a young supporter. He then turned to me and jokingly asked that I wait until after the election to post it:  |

Alas, she was someplace else today. I've read her writing and she's excellent.
I LOVE your story! That's a great picture too. It sound just like him! I'm glad Ohio has him for its senior senator--you all need him so much. |
