Dude. I’ve got news.
You know how the prez of the school board was being something of a dick to me as I was trying to figure out whether to run again? He asked me not to step down early when it was clear that the the Board was going to appoint a replacement rather than run an election (no candidates). He said that if I stepped down it would cause a “media storm”.
So I didn’t go to the last few meetings and stuck it out until early December.
He just resigned. Sent a letter to the press citing family obligations with no further comment.
WTF?
So, like, if you were planning to step down all along, then what was all the pressure for? Jeez Louise.
I’m done. No more political games for me.
I posted this a couple days ago. Ye Olde Tyme Delay. We’re still in Medford.
Suisan, don’t you know someone on the Board with a loose tongue? Someone should know WTF.
Damn, I don’t know whether to pity you or not, because I don’t know whether or not you are in Vegas.
You are a sort of Schrodinger’s Hoffman. You are to be both pitied and not pitied.
Haha! Caught red-handed using the timestamp feature! 😉
Okay, y’all can pity me …now. They even lost some of our luggage.
But in one respect I’m happy. All this traveling gave me time to reread Michael Swanwick’s Stations of the Tide. Damn, that’s a fine book.
I pity you and not. Vegas can be fun for all of 10 minutes. Is it snowing? Did they find the luggage?
Have a good trip! Look up my aunt & cousin while you’re there, would you? I don’t know their address, but surely it shouldn’t be too hard to find a couple of women named Jeanette and Ruth while you’re there, right?
CD: I think we spent 40 minutes in Strip traffic trying to get to a frozen custard place that was closed. On the other hand, lunch today was awesome (more later on that). We have, thus far, studiously avoided the casinos.
Darla: Oh, only 2 million people here in Vegas, and growing . . .
