Its partly having my eyes glazed over as I complete the last third of the project. Its partly the debris I mentioned in an earlier post. Its partly the corona virus quarantine and cabin fever. And its partly wonderful weather. I&#8217;ve been exercising by kicking my hackysack around solo. Its good exercise but I can tell my equilibrium isn&#8217;t what it used to be. Still, I&#8217;m closing in on 30 successive kicks at a time before the sack lands on the ground. <\/p>\n<p>But the campaign keeps calling me. I&#8217;ve told S. that I have to cut back on our texting until after the primary when by all rights I should be defeated. But I&#8217;m in the process of setting up a donation page for contributions. Its something I&#8217;ve avoided until now. However I found a group who will help me account for fundraising to keep the toothless FEC from dunning me for mistakes. <\/p>\n<p>I have gotten three requests for candidate answers to questionnaires. The League of Woman voters sent me three of them for an Internet site with a heavy emphasis on how to handle the corona virus. I also have a zoom interview with the public employees unin AFSCME. I always enjoy union screening committees even though after perhaps thirty such screenings in my career I have yet to win their endorsement which is sort of a testimonial to my independence. I know I won&#8217;t get theirs but I&#8217;ll be cordial. I had intended to print out one of my old Not Eudora columns to show them that I will treat the Republican Party just like I have treated them. I think my record of of being honest instead of sticking my finger in the air to test the wind could get the title of Spike Lee&#8217;s signature movie: <strong>&#8220;Do the Right Thing,&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here is the column I would have handed out tonight had I been able to see the screeners in person. I will try to remember to tell them to check out my blog during my interview. The column was titled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowbizz.com\/Diogenes\/NotEudora03\/afscmegift.htm\">AFSCME&#8217;s Christmas Gift<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My writing has taken a backseat for the last week.
