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. And of course do everything else. Today, add cleaning out the car to my list of duties. Last week I extricated a Shetland sheep, who had stuck her head through the hog-wire fence beneath the manger in the paddock and couldn’t figure out how to pull it back out.

I tried to explain to Berck when I got home today that I wouldn’t be seeing much of him anymore.
