Many times I have been called perfect.

The problem is, many times people insist on adding to the description. Words like "ass", or "idiot", and other words.

My resolution for 2021 is to stop listening after I hear the word perfect.

and then coms the letdown.

Last Monday I had a Zoom with a group I work with.
The host asked what I did on Sunday.
I said I watched football for 10 hours, but I also played guitar for 4 and 1/2 hours. She laughed and said that is not exactly multi-tasking. I disagree.

And I am currently working on 2 local races. Lit dropping, petition signing, working on election material and fundraising.

Numerous Zoom meetings every week, and we are doing postcards for Georgia as well.

So yes, my post count is down.

And I walked/ran over 1,400 miles this year.

Thank you for asking.
And you, are you staying sane?

and one day one of the daughters, who at the time was having issues with diarrhea, was telling a couple of us about it, and we were politely listening. At one mpoint she said, "I know yo all thought I was a perfect asshole, but I'm nit." Just try to keep a straight face in that situation.
