Anita and I have participated in the Canoe for Cancer for a number of years and did so again this summer.

Sometimes people joke that being a politician is all about kissing babies and shaking hands. While there is certainly more to being Mayor than that, getting to meet and know my constituents is one of the great pleasures and privileges of my job.
