6 Weird Things About Me (Maybe not so weird, but perhaps unexpected...)
1. My favorite comfort food is Campbell's Tomato Soup with saltine crackers and peanut butter. Heat the soup, put the peanut buttter on the crackers, add texas pete, or other hot sauce to the soup, and then crunch the peanut butter crackers up in the soup. Serve with cheese sandwiches with heavy mayo and chocolate milk.
2. I drove for Yellow Cab in downtown Atlanta for 4 years in the last 70's. I loved that job. I figured if it was a good enough job for Bella Abzug, it would be a good enough job for me to make a little money to get me through the college years. I actually learned more driving a cab than I did in the last three years of high school and the time I spent in college.
3. I've been active in Democratic politics since I was a child...my first encounter with a Presidential Candidate was in Raleigh I believe, and the candidate was Eugene McCarthy. (does anyone else remember the "Flowers for McCarthy" stickers?)
4. I worked for the Carter Presidential campaign headquarters in Atlanta when I first got there to go to college. It was a natural, since it was just across the corner from the High Museum at Colony Square.
5. I think I was the first female lane man in the metro Atlanta area bowling area. There were several 300 games bowled on my lanes, and while the bowlers were happy, not so much could be said about the sanctioning groups. (Who me? Block a lane?)
6. I ran for County Commissioner here in my County. I lost by the most marginal of losses, and many think it was due to the "loss" off my name from the paste-up of our weekly paper in route to the printers the week before the election. As I look back, I am thinking that it was a good thing, many people in my community don't really deserve my representation. This is probably the reason we don't have the best representation in government on all levels. Makes you wanna say, "Hmmmm....."
