I was “practicing casting” along the riverside, and neighbor ambled up to chat with me. Management issue, and I’m not management. Nor am I management material. Nor, for that matter, did I much care, as I was busy “practicing.”
Which lead to a snarled mess as I’d just spooled up some new twine on the old pole, and talking can be a distraction. So I carried the pole back to the trailer, and set about trimming off the snarled mess. I finally gave up, and there was a little break in the weather, so I went back to practicing.
Eventually, I gave it all up when I realized it had started to rain pretty hard.
So I showered up, dragged out some nice, clean clothes and got dressed up for dinner.
“Oh Kramer, you’ll love this. The Democrats are always a freak show,” my Virgo hostess assured me.
(She works for a Democrat and votes Democrat, I might add.)
Of course, being Virgo and all, she was right.
I also figure some of the points being made, rather evocatively by the speakers, most notably Sen. Kennedy, were a tad strange next to the items in the silent auction, and the raffle prize – tickets were $75 – an 8-day trip to Paris. Folks at the table chuckled, “They have a Four Seasons Hotel in Paris, Texas?”
As summary, my Virgo neighbor pointed out that the event started late, ended late, and wasn’t particularly well-organized.
Will Rogers, the sage observer of humanity, from Oklahoma, once observed, “I’m a member of no organized political party – I’m a Democrat.”
Or, as my Virgo buddy quoted in Spanish, a quote I hope to steal, “siempre como un circo.”
