I thought I'd give you all a bit of a grin - yesterday, just as I was gearing up to clear all the leaves I could from the front stairs and sidewalks in preparation for the trick-or-treaters, the doorbell rang. It was a nicely dressed woman, older than me, with a clipboard, and as I did not recognize her as one of my neighbors, I was instantly suspicious.
"I'm here for the Patrick (our current governor, Deval Patrick) campaign," she began ...
And I promptly cut her off, and said, "I am not interested in spending time with this, I have work to do."
She tried to cut in with a protest about not taking much time, and I looked at her and said, "I have already decided. I am voting for the candidates who bother me the least."
She did not know what to say to that, hesitated, then got the (not very subtle) hint and left. Thank goodness!
