Governor Brewer congratulated the legislators on their joint achievements this last
session and added little humor. Senator Russell Pearce as always was serious
about future legislation. Speaker Andy Tobin speech added a homey touch to his
by comparing Republicans around a family dinner table some agreeing and some
not but still together as "family". What can I say about Secretary of State Ken Bennett but I wish they had given us a copy of the ditty penned and
sung as he played his guitar (I don't know if it was a Gibson).
The star
speaker of the evening was Chairman Tom Morrissey who gave an excellent sincere
speech about the goals for 2012. The former US Marshall seemed a lot more
comfortable speechifying than he had in his first couple of speeches after his
election.
Starters was making our way into the VIP Reception to find out it was all stand up no chairs in the room, Carole and I drug up a couple of chairs in the hall outside the VIP room grabbed a bag of popcorn from the bar got couple of drinks and had a chin wag with all of the VIP attendees as they went in to get their drink and picture taken. We got so wrapped up schmoozing with everyone we forgot to get our picture taken with the Governor.

Chairman
Morrissey seated us behind the Governors table with Don Goldwater Chairman of the Pachyderm Coalition, his wife Lisa, Leona Johnson President of AFRW, Former State Representative Laura Knaperek, State Representative Eddie Farnsworth, Chairman Maricopa County Republican Committee Rob Haney and two ladies who drove down from northern Arizona for the evening.
Kudos to Senator Lori Klein she put it all together..Now I'm going to do a fashion thing, Lori
looked absolutely great in a little black St. John number trimmed in bling. She
promised if/when I can get into a size 6, it's mine. A promise I'm sure she
will never have to keep, I haven't been size since I was 25.
I have to admit I used some of the time to
schmooze to get guest for my radio show Hair on Fire. Don Goldwater is going to
be a guest on September 28th and Senator Russell Pearce and Phoenix Mayoral
candidate Wes Gullett said they would in October.
The end of the evening was comedy routine with me being the star act. When we left I ended up at the wrong car. I've got my keys out pushing the remote and the door wouldn't open, then I looked over and bird had done it's number 2 on the hood...I'm yammering about the bird doo, Carole said and you didn't even park under a tree.. Turns out it wasn't my car. Then the lights went on in my car two spots down, thank goodness Carole heard the doors unlock and we LOAO all the way to Carole's. Her remedy is I can't have A glass of wine.. Ye had to be there..be###
