Oh, blast. I may have to change my mind.

Senator Ted Kanavas – the State Senator for my district – is saying he won’t run again.

So, what do you think?

I think I’m in trouble. My heart went all pittypat. Not to mention the love of a campaign in good weather! Oh, dear…

    Are you thinking what I think you’re thinking?! Good for you. If your heart is going “pittypat” then it must be something you should at least explore.

    Well, pittypat was quickly replaced by cold feet. What in the world was I thinking?

    Maybe your passion for politics (the “pittypat”) is slightly scary (the “cold feet”). I say it’s a valid exploration given your history and insight so put on some socks and meditate about it. It’s those little nudges that deserve some pondering.

    Fair enough. But in reality, no matter what I good idea I might think it would be, there’s this guy I live with who probably would not agree. There’s a huge loss of financial privacy at the state level, and that’s never been a part of our culture. The minute I remembered the disclosure forms that would be required, reality set in.

    Back to the travel site for me!

    I think we must talk! Remember- politics ages you.

    Oooh. Good point!

    I thought of you the minute I heard Mr. Kanavas’ news. I hope you give that pittypat some thought before you write it off. I heard Rich Z. is thinking about moving on up. That spot might be a good fit for you.

    What in the world has Mr. Zipperer done in the 98th to justify “moving up?” Politics boggles me sometimes. I can have the leftover 98th Assembly but shouldn’t run for the 33rd Senate.

    (Yes, you hit a button.)

    I just thought it might give “this guy” you live with a chance to adjust to the situation. You sounded like you were talking yourself out of the idea. Sorry.

    I’m sorry, too. My response was harsh.

    Like so many things in life, it would be great if I could have the pleasure of serving without all the yucky stuff that goes with it. It’s true. I’ve talked myself completely out of this one.

    Wait a minute! Are you talking politics over here?????

  • 12 Cindy // Jan 26, 2010 at 9:51 pm

    There is no ‘over’ here, only here.
