It only took me a year. I&#8217;ve gathered the materials I need so that I can find the reference points I need to write a book about my life in the Education biz. I&#8217;m thrilled. Its so pleasant up here that both of my cats are snoozing behind me in the sun. I think they are up here because its the farthest they can go from the destruction of our kitchen but that&#8217;s OK. Its nice to have a refuge. (Its being remodeled.)<\/p>\n<p>At the top of this post you can see that I put up a map of the Second District I hope to represent again. Its outlined in blue. The orange and yellow lines which cover almost all of its streets represent the areas I canvassed in the 2017 election. I did 30,000 steps close to daily according to my pedometer. This map only represents one-fourth of the whole City that I covered. All that walking is why I got plantar fasciitis so badly that I couldn&#8217;t walk for a few days near the end of the campaign. <\/p>\n<p>Next to the map is my 140-day campaign calendar. Four days have been slashed out and you can see the yellow line that has been driving me to speed things up. That, starting Saturday, is when I&#8217;ll be out of town visiting my Father-in-law in hot, humid Florida. It took that long for Claudia to be up to a trip. It will give me a quiet week to do some writing. A thousand pages a day. I swear. I&#8217;ll get it done. One book in 100 to 120 days. I&#8217;ve already contacted a printer specializing in books. I have to price it before I let my eight loyal readers put in their order for it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My office is clean as a whistle. It only took me a year.
