In the Big House

Today, I attended my first gubernatorial press conference, at the State House in Annapolis. Here is a photo I took of Governor (and former Baltimore mayor) Martin O'Malley speaking with reporters in attendance:



Beginning with the third issue of Smile, Hon, You're in Baltimore!, and throughout O'Malley's tenure as mayor, I would send copies of each new edition to his office at City Hall. And to my surprise, he actually sent me several brief thank-you notes in return.
