Okay, I never really drank Jolt Cola, but way back in 1992 or so, I went on a lobbying trip with some other folks that involved leaving Erie, driving to Harrisburg, and then back to Erie. Within a 24 hour period. I was concerned about nodding off, so I got some Jolt Cola.

This past Friday, I went to the Erie County Democratic Party’s Beef and Ballots Dinner. We had a great turnout, and I am excited about the candidates!

This morning, I had to go pick up a card with some photos on it that my friend Richard took of the National Equality March last week. He is in the Renaissance Center at 10th and State, and I ended up taking 6th Street home.
