The past two weeks have been a particularly busy time for the hizzhoner household....
and no, it wasn't Christmas shopping....(see previous Christmas posts)
Politically things were supposed to be quiet for December. Everybody was supposed to take time off from political skulduggery until after Christmas....but it didn't happen that way and once again, I found myself in the middle of another political fray..actually SEVERAL of them.
What was a bit unusual, is that, for once, I didn't start any of them. They will carry over well into the new year so I'll probably opine about one or more of them on this blog in the near future.
In the meantime, let me share a few things with you....
I heard from alwayshope, a fellow frequent commenter on our favorite all-time blog Last Chance Democracy Cafe' and he left a nice comment on the previous post. alwayshope, please have an enjoyable holiday season with your loved ones and keep those great comments coming. I always (sic) enjoy hearing from you.
The local group of retired Democrats/Progressives/Rabble rousers met for coffee yesterday morning and among our group was Sybylla and Madashell from Democraticunderground.com fame. Sybylla has an absolutely wicked sense of humor and I truly enjoy her company...Madashell has a quiet, sneaky and ...ahem...evil...sense of humor too. It is a lot of fun watching the stauncy, old, good-ole-boy network businessmen get stunned by the conversation at our table....obviously we have much more fun than they do....
Yesterday was, of course, the Winter Solstice so Sybylla invited everybody at the table to join her and her family that night to "dance naked around the bonfire!" You can't even imagine what kind of conversation that spurred around the table! The businessmen must have thought we were nuts.
In the meantime, I've noticed some of my colleagues hustling around getting ready for Christmas and pursuing it with the same enthusiasm that they pursue any other item on their "to do list". Something's gotta give folks...something's gotta give.
