Svengali

More fun in the Arctic today. This morning, I had a meeting at the Capitol with one of our state senators. I’m getting to see more of the legislative process in my job, which I find really interesting. I don’t think I have the temperament for any kind of political career, but the process of proposing and enacting policy is fascinating to me. I would be more comfortable working behind the scenes as a consultant or advisor. The type of person who whispers things into the ear of those who are much more photogenic and polished than I ever could be.
I’m starting to wonder if my vacation should take the form of a cruise. I was kind of dismissive of the idea at first. Cruises just seem kind of tacky and overindulgent to me. But it might be more accessible than some of the other options I’ve been looking at. I could still see a few different places and still have a home base from which to operate. But a 7-day cruise probably means I should bring two people with me, which bumps up the expense. Sigh. Sometimes I wish I could just get on a plane and go and not have to plan every little detail. Having a disability really kills spontaneity.
Anyway, whine whine. I’ll figure out something.
