Hi, dear listeners!

My trip started badly, I admit, because I missed my flight to Denver and had to spend hours in JFK waiting for the next flight -- which was delayed due to various weather problems -- and got my to bed at 3 am Denver time (5 am NY time). I was wiped and I missed a few events I would have liked to attend.

Note to self: Remind JetBlue not to seat me next to young, gorgeous blonde women wearing really short skirts and who have really nice personalities -- particularly when I'm traveling without my wife ...

That being said, I have already reconnected with many old friends and politicos. This is the place to be. This morning I picked up my first credentials and am set for Night 1 of the convention. I'm being trailed by a reporter for the Brooklyn Paper, Dan Bush, so I've had the opportunity to pontificate a bit to him. Maybe you'll get some later on.

Posted here is my live interview with Rochester City Councilmember Adam McFadden. I'm sure you will enjoy it. We spoke as I was gobbling down some burgers and drinking water (which you are supposed to do here). Mr. McFadden has concerns about party unity, particularly with regard to Clinton supporters. He also has some harsh things to say about urban politics in Rochester, NY.

More later!
