I am not political by nature. Let’s just say, I am mostly apathetic. Dave, however, has a passion for justice that does not quit. So, with his encouragement, we made a stand to better our state and our children’s futures.

We marched, along with 50,000 passionate educators, support staff and people just like us to the state capitol—to encourage our governor and state legislature to increase funding for education. We decided to turn the march into an urban hike of sorts and trekked from my old office (thanks Peter!) to the ballpark. Ten miles in the mid 90’s will wipe one out.

I was reminded of the Arizona Cardinals chant of “Rise up Red Sea”. It was hot. It was tiring. It was a great show of strength and, it was amazing.
