The blog’s been quiet for a brief spell. Here’s why:

• Two out of three of us had birthdays.
• Mother’s Day, including the completion of the annual movie project.
• Planting of the annual flowers.
• T-ball.
• Visits from three grandparents and an uncle.
• A primary election, and all of the corresponding electioneering.

All events passed successfully. I’m just a wee bit exhausted.

As for the election, David Landau was the top vote-getter in the Democratic primary for County Council. (This was expected, but it’s always good to have the confirmation.) There hasn’t been a Democrat on Delaware County’s Council for almost 30 years, so it’s essential to have a top-flight candidate like David to lead the slate. We also had two cross-filed Democratic candidates (District Judge Stephanie Klein and School Board candidate Michael Reilly) who won both the Democratic and Republican primaries. These are not just politicians, they’re our friends and neighbors, so these successes are particularly exciting. In many respects, much more exciting than victories in much larger elections.
