Wow! What happened! The last I remember, Obama had won Ohio and I said it would be a good night to pop in a video. And then there was a blur of time and now Christmas is three days away. Whoah.
I was sick for awhile and tired out for awhile and looking for work and feeling kind of dazed and confused. At one point, my wife and I went to St. Paul for a wrap-up banquet and there were big smiles on some faces and sober looks on others. And everybody said thank you and good luck and see you next time and then we drove back to Baxter. Surreal at the least. And now what?
Running for office was a worthwhile and educational experience and something everyone should do at least once. I feel like I've gained the kind of knowledge that can't be picked up in a library or a short course. At other times, I'm not sure what I've learned. Life has changed. I envy the candidate who had to run on lunch breaks and after work and then had that structure to slip back into after election night. And I keep wondering what comes next.
I'm in a play. My health is back. I'm working out at the YMCA again. Carol continues to be a trooper and the rock on which my life rests, if only I would relax and allow it. C stands for Control as well as Christmas which is around the corner.
Merry Christmas everyone. And have a Happy New Year.
