I love you man....while your watchdaawg mentality is an asset....it shouldn't be your hobby. Take up my offer to come play this fall. While this stuff is important......it's not as important as your relationship to God, your family, your country. On your deathbed (which I hope is long off) I guarantee you'll appreciate watching a beautiful sunrise, marveling at one of God's animals in it's natural environment, luring it towards you....then killing it and eating it much more than calendar stalking a political adversary. The world will not stop turning if you reduce your level of vigilance a little....(just a little)...in the interest of your well-rounded nature.
Better yet...climb a mountain....or at least a plastic facsimile in a parking lot on Kirby ;-)
I know you're saying most of that in jest, and your heart is in the right place. I was impressed by how you "let" your daughter beat you on the rock wall.
Looking at someone's calendar one time does not constitute stalking, right? I know my good friend Los1 was at the Council 26 meeting because we talked there. I also know that I was told the Howie didn't want to be at the meeting at all, but he was persuaded to at least start the meeting. We both know that Howie LEFT the meeting before it was finished. I was told he was leaving to catch a jumpseat home. Now, I was not IN the first part of the meeting -- I was outside the partition talking to some other people about the informational picketing event -- so I don't know what Howie announced in the meeting. But when he left, I was told (and have been told by others since) that he left to catch a jumpseat home.
So, when Los1 claimed that Howie was giving a line check, I knew there was a quick way to confirm or deny the claim. Part of me wanted to find a Line Check on the flying calendar so I wouldn't have to correct Los1. (He's already had enough of that from me in the Tweet.
) But, it is what it is.
As for me and my god, my family, and my country ... we're doing swell. My weekends generally include pulling a trailer full of band equipment to high school marching band contests around the region and bringing trophies home. I've been watching plenty of sunrises lately, and sharing pictures of the same. (The Cell phone camera just doesn't do them justice.) I've already early voted. And I've already got a recipe for B.B., the family rabbit.
I happen to care a lot about my family, and your family, and the other 4,298 or so families, and that's why I'm concerned with having the best people representing us. You know that whether we agreed on a particular topic or not, I took the job very seriously, and I think anyone who steps in to those positions should do the same -- for my family, and for yours.
... so we can enjoy the time stalking ... creatures ...
