Hey there, how are you? So I think they're going to post this piece this
evening. Just wanted to fact check a few things to make sure I haven't
screwed anything up:

* Denis remembers you needling him at a wrap-up meeting about an upcoming
Cherry Blossom race, saying you were going to finish in so many minutes and
adding, "I don't know what Denis is going to run."

* You finished that race at 1:26, six minutes ahead of Denis.

* You just turned 66.

* You first met the Clintons in the 1970 Connecticut Senate race.

* Your dad, Italian American, dropped out of high school and worked in
factories all his life. Your mom, Greek American, passed along her love of
cooking. You're a practicing Catholic like dad but display a Greek Orthodox
icon in your office.

* You've attributed your drive and temper to an ethnic upbringing where
yelling about politics at the dinner table was perfectly normal.

* And is it okay to say you declined to be interviewed because you're
superstitious about profiles?

Thanks!
