I’ve been wrestling with Sprint all day. Come to think of it, I’ve been wrestling with them all weekend. It all started when my boss Duncan decided he needed a new PDA. “It’d be great if it’s also a phone,” he told me, “but I can’t hear the one I’ve got.” I can empathize. I have a really hard time hearing anyone on the phone, no matter which phone…and that’s with my good ear. I can’t hear much out my right ear. Too much loud music, I guess. In Duncan’s case, it’s probably because he’s 62. I also can’t hear…

Low played here in Colorado Springs Friday night. We found out about it a week ago, and excitedly bought tickets online.

Duncan had left me an e-mail saying he needed a badge that said, “Duncan Bremer — Candidate for Congress.” So I typed “badge” into Google and found a place that made them on Nevada Avenue. I called the number, thinking they might have a recording saying what their hours…
Well, today I was named campaign manager, for lack of anyone more qualified. I like how that sounds: campaign manager. I asked Duncan if I could add that to my resume. He answered, “Let’s see how far this campaign actually goes before we put anything on our resumes!” So I actually have to run this campaign now, make decisions, scrounge up volunteers, money, locations, banners, contribution envelopes, and everything else.
