Anniversary .... #27

[kinzel]

A rainy day,

and I get to go out in a little while with Sharon and vote for myself in the municipal elections as well as deal with those pesky referendum issues and after then we'll go out to dinner. Chinese? Sounds possible ... maybe Lucky Panda since we've been to cousin Lee's a number of times in a row.

Was planning on a scenic drive between voting and dinner ... now I'm not sure. Maybe we'll go bother the folks at the real estate place about the office location Im sort of interested in.

Maybe we'll go look at the flash-drives at a local business store .. or drive in the rain all the way to Augusta to re-up an SRM Publisher Sam's Club membership.

Already today I've been to the PO and posted another 50 odd packages -- say 60 books -- and then went to another PO to check on availability of PO boxes. With the cost of gas above $3/gallon and the value of the dollar plummeting and so increasing that cost overtime... I think we'll be see real-life savings in short order by not running all the way to Unity all the time. Pity, that. An aside -- my gas today cost $2.99 a gallon because the pump was stuck there. After I got gas the mechanic opened the pump to fix the problem ... it was supposed to be $3.09.

Happy anniversary to you and Sharon.

My husband and I celebrate #36 today. Time flies, does it not?

Congratulations! Frank and I will celebrate 25 years in February.

In case you would like reassurance, the USPS either likes you or me. I got my box in good shape and speed.

Happy Anniversary!

Good timing on the gas, at least.

It was snowing when I got up this morning--the first snow of the year here.

Wait a minute - you started with Crystal Soldier/Dragon, then read Balance of Trade? Or do you mean Balance of Trade, Local Custom, and Scout's Progress?

Thing is, if you started with the Crystal Duology, I'm very intrigued as to how that reads as the beginning point.

Ah, that makes sense. Let's see. Roughly (it's been a while), I think I read Agent of Change, Conflict of Honors, Carpe Diem. (long uneasy pause) Plan B, I Dare, Local Custom, Scout's Progress. Toss well with chapbooks here and there along the way. The Crystal novels, whenever they came out. And now Fledgling.

The Crystal novels are deep background, but I think you'll want to read them later.

And during November - best of luck with nanowrimo!

Happy Anniversary to the two of you.

The Canadian PO got a shipping surge problem. Apparently with the recent decline of the US dollar, people order a lot of online stuff from the US. The regional mail sorting plants are overloaded, resulting in delays of more than several days for all packages. This is even before the annual Christmas shipping rush.

and vote for myself in the municipal elections

Are you running for public office? Which one? Will it be big enough to run SRM and commit public feasance, too? (malfeasance is public misdoing, misfeasance appears to be doing the right thing the wrong way, so there must be feasance, which is just plain doing things, right?)

Small towns have strange ways; in this case the public office which I expect to be taking is ... a *very* modest office, far from the Madding crowd. In ordinary times it is not an onerous position, and we will hope times stay as ordinary as they may.

A politician!

First, happy anniversary indeed. We're at 24. Congrats on 27.

I went off the Kennebeck Journal on the web today, but found no mention of a Steve Miller having won or lost any election.

My last experience with politics, other than as a votor, was when we worked on my wife's employer's campaign for city council. In a field of six, where there were two openings (vote for 2), he came in third, losing a seat by 900 votes, out of over 5,000 voters. We thought that was pretty good for a first-time campaign.

So c'mon, fill us in. How did it go? I should think that a blog entry on both the process and the results would be good reading for your loyal fans :)

congratulations to you both on your wedding celebration.

as for the public office, how about a few more details? like maybe the job title? and did you win?

Happy Anniversary

In this entry, rolanni said, "Steve ... had a place on the local ballot." That's the first I remembering hearing of this - what was it, and did you win?
