Hi Hunter:

I'm working in Jordan for NDI, helping Parliament, through March 10th.

This weekend I'm staying at the Kempinski Resort- Dead Sea. I heard that
the "VP Biden and his family" will be here soon."  I can tell you this- it
has a great spa. Just consider this advance team info!

I hope all is well with you. An update on my political life-  the CT State
Senate Majority Leader and President asked me to run for the open seat in
my district, but I turned it down. Part politics, part personal.

I know my being around for my wife has helped everybody at home, I
overheard her telling someone she was at about "85%".  I know a campaign
would take 100% of my effort- so not now.

Also- I like the idea of statewide better.  Next opportunity is 2018.  I
was just named Chairman of the Connecticut Port Authority and Executive
Director of CT-21 which is a think tank on Connecticut issues.  Nice ways
to get around the State.

If you come to Jordan let me know-

Wishing you and your family well.

Scott Bate
