what we both found out very soon was that we should have stopped while we were ahead. I am 74 and she is a few years younger.

By the time for the lunch break we were dead tired. We were from District 8 and there is big reason to be proud of that area. All of our delegates came and we had so many alternatives that we did not have enough room to set.

That also meant that they were going to have a hard time rotating the alternatives so that everyone would have a chance on the floor. I have from the beginning deferred to the young delegates so after lunch break we decided to go home - we told the others that we wanted the youth down there on the floor instead of us.

By the time we were half way home our driver was just laughing - the two ladies in the back seat were sound asleep.

But yes it was very worthwhile going. Rick Nolan and Keith Ellison gave really beautiful speeches and the rest did okay also.
