It's been a minute since I wrote here, so on this Saturday evening with the insects talking to each other outside and Lloyd Cole singing "Ice Cream Girl," a bit of an update. I don't usually do updates, but it seems right today...

Nicole and I are just back from doing a seminar in Denton, Texas. Thursday, we did one in Abilene. Tomorrow, we do one in Mt. Pleasant, Texas. We're traveling a bunch. Toward that end, we bought the diesel beast you see in our driveway here. It's an older truck. After some mechanic love, we pick it up Monday and from here forward, that will be our travel vehicle.

At the seminar today, a woman who buys into the idea of The 350 Plan (where you set aside money every month to help a candidate later), brought mason jars to hand out to the attendees. That was pretty cool and unexpected. Thanks Julie!

In early September, I'll be back in Tennessee doing a seminar there. Had a guy recently ask me if I can get to New Mexico. Yes, I told him. He said that there are a bunch of conservatives there who are fed up with losing and they want to start winning. Having attended the seminar, he wants to see if he can get me there. Fantastic!

A pastor called me from the Rio Grande Valley and will be running for office. He heard good things about the book, called me, and we had a great conversation. I look forward to seeing what he does with his first-time campaign. I expect I'll talk with him a few more times, especially after he finishes the book.

I've been working on the updates to House of Bad Cards and the new House of Good Cards. We reveal them Saturday, July 26th. I get asked about them wherever I go.

And I'm working with a few candidates directly. They're using the votersPLATFORM getting their connections underway.

I say all of this to say: all of these amazing, joyful patriots everywhere I go... Nicole and I get to serve these good people who are working like crazy to secure our freedom. I am busy, but abundantly grateful for this life.
