and her plan

and, I can't say I'm surprised... but last night another one of the "secrets" that came out was her apparently recent decision to run. "I wanted you to be the first to know and I was going to tell you when you came down here. I bought champagne and caviar and really wanted to celebrate."

Wow.

She always has treated me well for food and drink and such.... But, still....

I was not going to say anything about how I thought the race and the service if elected would affect things. And, I likely will not.

Still, one of the things she was "going to do" was announce to all our leadership colleagues that we were a couple; quite in love with each other" etc, etc, at next month's meeting.

That would be political mistake in my opinion... so in the sense of her statewide political agenda, my desire to shift the basis of our relationship serves her better than she knows.

Note, she was going to announce a WE love each other because, as she said, she had thought that's where I was at... and only now had come to a point of admitting her own.

Now she's hurting because she realizes there is a too little / too late or a day late and a dollar short aspect of the situation....
