People like to be asked and people like to be thanked.

They also like it when you show up.

The Women Legislators of Maryland Foundation held “The Reunion of the Sisterhood! 2010” last night.

Unlike all other Annapolis receptions at the dinner hour, you had to purchase a ticket. However, there were no competing affairs.

The chair of the group outlined the top four issues for the session, Governor O’Malley spoke, and nearly 30 women electeds stood at the microphone to give their name and legislative district.

Then the chair asked the male legislators to stand up.

Speaker Busch and I were the only two.

Pretty amazing, I thought to myself. Not that I was there but that no one else was.

(Already a dividend: “Always good to see some male legislators there!” a lobbyist wrote me today. She wants to include an amendment of mine in a bill she’s drafting.)

I may become a member of a second caucus of two.

Another Orioles Fantasy Camper is running for the House of Delegates, I just learned.

We’re both catchers. However, only one of us is a Democrat.

So he’ll get no free publicity (or batting practice fastball to hit) in this diary.
