So, I clicked on my “Site Statistics” link last night to see if anybody visited my Web site on the day after the election trouncing I received. And, lo and behold, my site had more visitors yesterday than all but one other day since I put it online in early December!
That’s comical to me. It’s pretty obvious a bunch of people were trolling to see what I had to say about the election. Hello there, Jeff!
Don’t worry, I WILL have something to say about it all. But you have to give me a couple of days to chill out. I’m trying to get back into the swing of things at work and, also, clean up some of the incredible clutter that piled up in my car and house over the last few weeks preceding the election.
So give me a couple of days. I promise I’ll morph this Web site into something else. I know one thing: now that I’m not a candidate anymore, and considering I finally have a blog up and running after several years of thinking about it, I might be able to provide you with some real fun with regard to local politics. Lord knows, the newspaper is never going to write anything remotely informative or, God forbid, entertaining about any of it. But, heh heh, I am out here with my quill sharpened and unhindered by the concerns of running for office anymore.
Thanks to those of you who were checking in for the last couple of months. I know you’re out there. The site numbers don’t lie. If you’ve been visiting with any regularity, you know my Web site and this blog were unique in local politics. Nobody in politics is genuine. Nobody says what they really think. Nobody gives you the warts-and-all picture. It’s all just dolled up into a pretty package to try to get you to vote for them. I couldn’t do it that way; it’s just not me. So at least I got beat without trying to package myself into something I’m not. I didn’t pander. I was just me. That, I can live with.
Let’s make it Monday. I’ll start writing regularly next Monday, February 11. I’ll try to figure out what this “Timforjudge” site is going to become. See you then!
