I’m up in Charlottesville for the whole of the week, visiting family and friends, for the duration of Virginia Tech’s extended Thanksgiving break. I’ll be running a beta test of a campaign staff training program that I’m setting up, doing some work on a new political effort that I’m launching (more on that in a week or two), and doing a little work with Democratic candidates. I’ll be on dial-up, likely checking e-mail only once or twice daily, so if you need to reach me, either call or, if e-mailing, expect to wait.
