After a short hiatus, we're back on the road. Today we woke up very bright and early (we left the house at 4:45 a.m.!) and flew to Houston where former President George Herbert Walker Bush (41) endorsed Dad for President. It was a very cool event with former First Lady Barbara Bush, wearing her signature pearls, also in attendance.  From there we flew to snowy Wisconsin, where it is blizzarding and freezing, for a finance meeting and a media gaggle.

As we approach the blog's six month anniversary, there have been a few changes.  I've given up heels for Chuck Taylors (I just can't wear heels on the road anymore unless it's a special occasion or I'm feeling daring), and the food is slowly, but surely, getting a little better.  Instead of a turkey sandwich for lunch today, I had a chicken plate.  Hey, it's the little things in life that keep you going...especially when you're on the road.

Tomorrow it's election day in Wisconsin and then we head to Ohio!

On the plane at 4:45 a.m. this morning...
