chicatingNot exactly the way I might have pictured, obvs, but the ornaments that I gave Mom last year look pretty good.

Watching Aftyn Behn "almost win" reminds me too much of my own life, really, except nobody is gonna tell her she's "So Brave" probably.But, you know, I'm a longshot, too.(one that, as of this writing, has not come into very much.(Also, the real, well, I hesitate to call it fun, but, okay, something beneath that, pleasure, maybe, of a long-shot campaign is doing what you can while not taking it seriously, cause, like, "What the hell?" Saying what you want(within reason) not sweating the polling...that kind of stuff.
Having her come so close with everyone watching is kind of the worst of all possible worlds.I'm an activist, not a fricking Cubs fan..."Wait Till Next Year" doesn't get it done for me anymore...after about fourteen years, I'm thinking of leaving the phone team behind, but my own life isn't compelling either, or I never would have flung myself in so hard in the first place. But I haven't had a good round of calls in forever.
Still looking for that dare-to-be-great situation, I guess.
