I visited with a teacher friend yesterday. When I asked how things are going, Scot started talking about the problems in the district. Most of his complaints were similar to the campaign I ran when I ran for the school board in 2008. I guess I should have tried harder but I decided I wasn't to spend any money for an office that didn't pay but took up a lot of time. My campaign was more word-of-mouth. I still got a little over 47% of the vote so I thought I did pretty well.
In the year since the election I began to think that the best thing that happened to me was to get beat. Same old things are still screwed up.
