Time for a get-togther.
Have decided to invite everyone I know...Stork, Castor, K/E, DFA, FAU and anyone else that might be interested to a ‘Back To The Drawing Board’ evening.
The purpose will be to get us all together to vent, eat, drink, talk and brainstorm. We’re all over the place right now. One friend says we need to ‘become more centrist’. Another says ‘market ourselves to the Right’. I’m more along the lines of ‘Fuck The Right...I voted for MY values and I’m not changing one iota’ and actually I’m more than likely moving more to the left.
All of these viewpoints are good and fair and have value...ooohh...the ‘V’ word again. And lots more viewpoints out there that haven’t been vocalized.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m still very sad. And very pissed. Wore black to work on Friday. Wearing all black tomorrow. Wearing all black on Tuesday, which will be a week since what I’m now calling Black Tuesday. I sat Shiva for my country and our loss.
And now it’s time for me to get active again.
Back in August Team Stork had an unusually rough day. The same day we discovered one of the newest staffers had a recurrence of cancer and had to leave for home asap was the same day that Jim gave everyone a head’s up that he had medical problems and was going to put his campaign on hold.
That night, everyone gathered at my house. We needed to be together as a group and blow off steam, vent, etc. It was a good thing.
Same idea for my ‘Back To The Drawing Board’ nite. Bottomline, it will be good to get together. We’ll create our own unity and in the process start to get back on track.
We’re a team, a force, a movement. We don’t all agree on everything...who does?...but we all come from a place where we want to do good for our State and our Country and our future.
It’s time to get back to work.
Will sex on the couch be a part of this event as well? It was for the first Stork event anyway, at least for a couple of us.
