Just call me Senator.
Yesterday we showed up at Ballyhoo for music-as-usual, only to find the place packed with glad-handing lobbyists -- The Optometric Physicians of Washington wine-and-dining (in this case beer-and-appetizer-ing) Washington legislators. Everyone had name tags.
So as we passed the name-tag table, I palmed one.
I've started my political career -- As Senator Cheryl Pflug.
In future, I imagine my senatorial duties will be greatly eased by actually knowing where my district is, so I've looked it up. I met one of my constituents last night, but when I asked him where exactly he was from I didn't recognize the place, so it wasn't much help. He in turn asked where I was from, but as I told him, after a few weeks in Olympia it's all a bit of a blur.
Various optometrists were quite impressed by Senator Pflug's fiddling, and I rather think the representative from Kelso will be showing up to listen again. Hopefully he didn't tell Pflug today that she looked a lot younger last night. Everyone looks younger in bars, and it's not nice to point it out.
Unfortunately, I was not approached by any rich and powerful Optometrists with unethically large gifts to bestow. At least the musicians ate well. Trickle-down economics applies to distracted hosts who over-ordered in rather the same way it applies to mansions if you have some skill with lock picks. It's best if the people at the top don't realize where their wealth has trickled.
UPDATE: Thanks to google, I now know where my district is, that I'mmisguided Republican, and married.
The married part could cause some problems, what with Erik and all, but Rank Hath Privledge. He is now my scandalous young boy toy instead of my older sweetheart.
I shall make him call me "Senator."
I'm aiming at federal office, as soon as I figure out where they keep their name tags.
