So, when I started this blog I wanted to keep it just about the stories. It was a nice alternate reality, and while there were politics in them in places, I actively tried not to make them or this site political.
But I'm a very political person. As had been hinted at, I went to American University in DC (living in the dorm room Andrea had if you care to figure that out) and majored in political science. I even got some jobs in politics after graduating before burnout became too real and loans came due etc. Campaigns are not known to pay well, especially to people like myself at the lower end of the totem pole.
So why am I saying all this? Well like many I've been transfixed by what's happening, and I want to share a thing or two. If you don't want to hear about politics you don't have to click "read more." Know that I'm not ready to post the rest of the epilogue, but that progress continues in fits and spurts. This update won't have anything more about that, bu if you would like to please read on.
