I have a box of cards hand addressed and ready to ship out as it gets closer to the August 26th election date. Those cards need stamps. I'm running a campaign without asking for money for two reasons, one, taxpayers will be paying my salary as a board member. I think that's enough. Also, I have a deep seated concern over the influence of money on our political arena. And so, I am not asking for money for anything, including my stamps.
I'm watching carefully what I spend, and it will add up quickly if I'm not careful and discerning about expenditures. I know my competitors will have many signs and a much larger presence at events than I will, but I am confident of my qualifications. I am the best person for the job, and the teachers need a voice on the board that has experienced their work from many different levels from classroom teacher to resource teacher. I digress, back to the stamps. I've been thinking about the purchase of stamps for my cards and planning, next Monday on my day off, to make a deposit into my campaign account to cover the cost of stamps. At my "Meet and Greet" last Monday, some of my family members surprised me with checks. The amount will cover the cost of my stamps.
I am grateful for the gifts, and I want to thank each one of you who were a part of a small but very important miracle in my life, the miracle of the stamps.
It is a little slow at the shop this morning, and I am writing this quickly. I usually add a picture, so I will pull from what's on my work computer.

Mama would have called this "killing two birds with one stone".
It's Midtown Cycles, our techs are the best!
