A sunset. For the past three months, most dates I've been inside at a houseparty or forum all evening, entering in sunlight and leaving in the dark. Or, so involved in talking with Portlanders at doorsteps that I've only noticed the sun has set when the names on the voter lists become unreadable. That has been the signal for for me to come home and start work on emails, usually heading to bed around midnight before waking at seven to start another non-stop 17-hour day.

Please help produce results from all the hard work so many have dedicated to this campaign since October 4, 2007. See the Volunteer page on this site to review options taking five minutes, or a couple of hours. Or join the full court press (= citywide push) for the next two weeks, and help me as I stretch my days even longer.
