Delinquent

I've been terribly delinquent again in keeping Fever Head current. Further attempts at stress reduction led to: ignoring the computer except for quick email scans, having multiple gatherings/booze-ups with friends, catching up on much-needed house work, et cetera. Little was done online, and quite frankly I enjoyed it.

Smacky and I spent last night at the neighborhood association meeting. I had hoped we would vote on the proposed revisions to the Deed of Restrictions. Unfortunately, the vote was derailed because yet again we are stuck endlessly discussing ONE clause of the whole deed, which affects at best less than five people, but who endlessly complain and argue without proposing anything meaningful. Add to those few the people who crawled out of the woodwork for the vote, despite having ignored a year's worth of meetings about these revisions, and the night was essentially a wash. Ahhh, politics. People and politics both suck.

It makes me wonder what I was thinking when I offered to run for Trustee-At-Large for this year's elections. Essentially a tie-breaker vote, the TAL position would let me get a feel for what an officer of the association does, without jumping in over my head. If elected, I'm not certain if I'll continue past the first term, but I figured I should at least try. I'm one of the younger people in the neighborhood expressing an interest, so maybe that will bring a little life to things. Who knows? I guess I'll find out in October if I won the election.

Before I go attend to other duties this evening, I thought I'd share a link. I WANT GECKO FEET! I WANT GECKO FEET!
