The Patriotic Driver



Sarah Palin is speaking in West Chester tomorrow. She will be just 5 minutes from my house! I went to John Boehner's office first thing yesterday morning to retrieve tickets for the event. If Sarah Palin was going to be that close to me, believe me, I was going to find a way to attend.

I received the ultimately hilarious telephone call last night. As background info, my brother-in-law is very active in the Republican party here in Cincinnati. He is always involved when Republican hotshots come to town. So Jim calls me last night and asks if I want to work at the Sarah Palin event. Uh, yeah! He is responsible for assigning motorcade drivers for Sarah and her entourage for the day. He figured I would love to be involved and knew I could handle driving a 15-passenger van since I have been driving big 'ol SUVs full of children for years. Ha, I knew that skill would pay off!

Long story short - I had to submit all of my vital info for a background check and will report for my patriotic duty first thing tomorrow morning. I'll drive a group from the airport to the event sight, spend the day with them, and drive them back to the airport at the end of the event. Ironically, Sarah Palin will leave West Chester and travel to Noblesville, Indiana which is my sister's hometown. My sister is attending the event. How funny is that?

I can't wait to see what unfolds tomorrow. Hopefully I will have the opportunity to meet Sarah Palin and let her know in person that I support her. I would love for her to make it to Washington and shake the place up.

Never a dull moment...
