Spent the entire day dealing with a cantankerous old coot who has an attitude of my way or the highway. It is a scene I hate and one I had hoped to leave behind in the world of politics. They get into deals with a host of people then proceed to try to control the entire group. A chapter in my life book is dedicated to control freaks … something I seem to attract in abundance. I don’t get it. Only good news I have seen time and time again they tend to get theirs in the end. Hallelujah.

The most pleasant part of my day was spent going to Lincoln and Sierra’s class to read my favorite book .. The Little Engine that Could. My children know the gig, why I love the book, the message which is inherent .. if your mind can believe it it can achieve it. And I’m living proof of that … then I had lunch with the first graders. Just love that.
