I’m heading back down to Guatemala next month with Caroline Proctor, who is going to be the new director of PEG. I’ll post pictures from there. The two cyclists who are raising money for the retaining wall and new school construction in Chacaya are doing very well. We tallied up some numbers the other day […]
Yes We Cannes
My friend Stephanie Winters sent me this link as a P.S. to a note about some other stuff. She and Walter Parks were accompanying musical legend Richie Havens performing in Cannes at the Film Festival this year, apparently at an event honoring Sean Penn. Stephanie is the cellist who plays all over my most […]
On the Road Again
Coppell, Texas I left Asheville at 3:30 in the afternoon on the day before yesterday, and last night played a house concert near Dallas with my long-time friend Beth Wood. What a treat to see and hear her again. She’s getting married this fall, and moving to Colorado, so you Coloradans keep an ear out […]
Gorges (gorgeous)
For my birthday, my parents took a picnic basket to the Veranda, a wonderful soup and sandwich place in Black Mountain owned by an old friend of mine. They paid for lunch for two and let us know it was there whenever we wanted it. All we had to do was call in our lunch […]
The biggest news
Well, here goes — might as well just spill it: We’re going to have a baby. 😉 Deanna’s due November 20, and we couldn’t be happier. We went for our second ultrasound this week and crossed the twelve week mark, so it’s time to share the good news! Looks just like me, huh? Answers […]
Canvassing
I spent a few hours canvassing on election day. Did a little door-knocking in my own neighborhood and then made some calls from the back deck. My rough script was “Hi, this is David LaMotte calling and I’m volunteering for the Obama campaign, just checking in to make sure you got a chance to vote […]
Distinguished Guests
Columbia, MD Friday night there was a little surprise 40th birthday party for me at my house. I was out for the early evening hearing Michelle Obama speak at UNC Asheville. She was absolutely amazing, and I was pleased that my friends were able to get her to speak in honor of my birthday. […]
national radio
I’ll be interviewed live about the push poll call (see below) tomorrow (Tuesday) morning on XM Digital Radio’s POTUS 08 (channel 130) at 7:30AM Eastern (I could use even *more* parentheses if you’re not getting enough…). Those of you who fit both of the criteria of being plugged into digital radio and being up at […]
More on the Push Poll
Well, it’s been an educational few days (if you haven’t read the post below about the push poll call I got from the Clinton campaign, you might want to scroll down and check it out). My little phone call recording has gone from Huffington Post to Daily Kos to Politico to ABC news, and it […]
Traffic
Two really funny vehicular scenes from my last twenty-four hours: One: Yesterday a Harley-Davidson pulled by my house and I glanced over at the biker riding a machine with all the auditory subtlety of a jack hammer on a freight train, only to do a double-take: he was talking on a cell phone. Can you […]
