THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2008 AT 4:39 PM
Things slowly got back to normal on Tuesday. While the storm resulted in serious damage along parts of the coast, and those affected remain in our thoughts and prayers, we were relieved that the storm wasn't as catastrophic as initially forecasted. Tuesday also happened to be the debut of my book, "My Dad, John McCain." The day began with a book signing at the CivicFest celebration in Minneapolis. I got to see some old friends and was so happy to meet all the great people and families who turned out to get their copies signed. It was an exhilarating experience and I can't thank everyone enough for their support. We then went to a service event organized by www.One.org. It's a charity devoted to eradicating global poverty. We then went to a local bookstore for another book signing. The day was a blur by the end, but I will never forget the amazing people I met and the wonderful support of my family and friends, both new and old.
