Georgetown, Del., Nov. 6--While I'm thankful the election is finally over, for me it still sort of lingers on as Vice-president elect Joe Biden is from Delaware, which is part of my coverage area.
And the reason I say it still "lingers on" is because good ol' Joe loves to come home every weekend to his beloved state. Which means I'll be spending more quality time in the "First State."
On Thursday, Biden made his first trip back after being elected, participating in the Return Day parade in this quaint little town. The tradition of the parade, which dates back almost 200 years, has the winning and losing candidates from Election Day riding together in open, horse-drawn carriages and antique automobiles.
As you can tell from the photo of me walking the route with a member of Biden's staff, far left, and a Secret Service agent, taken by my friend Suchat Pederson of the The (Wilmington) News-Journal, it was a miserable day. It rained the whole way on the two hour drive from Baltimore, and didn't let up until I got home 10 hours later.
A long day.
I miss you boys.
Love,
Dad
