Today marks 28 days until the the primary election day. Yes, that does make me think of a certain underappreciated Sandra Bullock movie. It also means that if I'm ever going to become a good blogger/Web guy, it had better start pretty soon. A friend of mine jumped on me about not being good about these things -- I'm going to do my best to listen to her.
Walking is tough these days, but also still wonderful. Five or more hours walking in 90+ degree heat can be hard on a guy. But the people at the doors make up for it.
I had two particularly interesting conversations yesterday. The first was with a 70+ year-old-woman who is really struggling to make it in retirement. Between the normal bills of life and the eleven perscriptions she takes, it gets tough, ya know? We spent over a half-hour on her doorstep -- culminating in two hugs (yes, this was an incredibly sweet woman).
Helping someone like Amy is exactly why I'm running. She's worked hard her whole life, raised a family, tried to be a good person -- and now skyrocketing gas and prescription prices are slowly killing her.
The other conversation was with a guy who wanted to talk about the Bible. Now, I grew up in the church and can talk Bible with just about anybody, but I try to keep my Bible and my politics as separate as possible. Not so for this guy. So we talked Bible -- agreeing on a few things and disagreeing on a few others. He won't be voting for me because I'm pro-choice, but I can live with that, and I'll still represent him as best I can.
Right now I'm getting ready for a phone conference, then I'll be walking until dark. Thank goodness for longer days!
See ya.
