Wow! We started the day with Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius and ended with Michelle Obama. It was a great kick-off to a monumental week. And to top it off, I received notice that I got a ticket to the big show at Invesco Stadium for Thursday evening.

Gillian has been hobnobbing with the stars - here she is with Leticia Van de Putte, co-chair of the Democratic National Convention. We met up with Leticia, Texas State Senator from San Antonio, at Mile High Station, the venue for the Texas delegation's evening party.

Did anyone see Gillian on CNN during Jim Leach's speech which immediately followed Ted Kennedy's historic and passionate oratory? Jim was the 15-term Republican from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, who lost his seat to Democrat David Loebsack in 2006, and now has crossed party lines to endorse Barack Obama. During the speech, CNN's camera panned the Texas delegation and stopped on Gillian. The shot also included Texas delegates Erin Moore (a Stonewall Democrat from SD 16) and Dr. Winfred Parnell (SD 8).
