Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it onto future generations. George Bernard Shaw

Outside Looking In



Senator Chris Dodd visited Exeter yesterday afternoon and was good enough to stop by a gathering of perhaps 50 people at our house. He was personable, passionate, and extremely gracious. It is a shame that the Hillarama has obscured the opportunity of some candidates of Dodd's caliber to get noticed (or funded, for that matter). He has made a long and distinguished career of public service, and has unimpeachable credentials on such core issues as health care, education, and foreign threats. Senator Dodd, his wife and children were charming and funny, and too many Democratic primary voters will never get to see that.
