Days 4 & 5
It's late and I'm punchy.
Well, 'Bus and I made it to Boston without incident, but on the way back I accidentally went to Maine. Yeah, me neither.
Yesterday was aiight. This week is going to be hell, though. Lots of canvassing of and phone calls to neighborhoods that have been called twelve times by eight candidates in the past two days. I'm not really exaggerating that much. I spent my first night in Strafford with my host fambly, finally. My host mommy, Robin, is introducing The General at an event tomorrow in Portsmouth. I'm proud. My birthday's in two hours. It will probably be unpleasant, as I was suckered into working all day because we're hosting a smaller event and I might actually get to meet He Himself. And if you think I'll use my birthday to leverage this in any way possible, you're goddamn right.
I'm supposed to be in Manchester right now, watching his response to the State of the Union, but something came up and I couldn't get there. 'Bus is there and I am not. And I will spend my birthday being Shouted At by Strange Yankees.
After the primary (27th), I plan on taking a couple days off to snowboard and/or spend time with Bus. Beyond that, it appears that I might actually be sent to Nashville for a week or so to work on the primary there. I think I could do a lot of good someplace like that where I know everydamnbody. Beyond that beyond -- who knows? I'm postponing my AmRep dreams for the moment. It's not going anywhere. (Dear Heavenly Thing, Please do not burn down the ART in response to my previous comment. I love you and I'll be good.)

What I've Learned To-Day: The light switches for the bathrooms in this part of the country? Are all outside the actual bathrooms. All of them. Everywhere. Really. Even at Nick's grandmother's house. (Dear Heavenly Thing, It's me again. Please send me to Louisiana. They have Democrats there, too. Honest. And sweet tea.)
