(205,467 posts)Though it would certainly be exciting. However, this has turned out to be an election season like no other, and I don't mean that in a good way. The tension and pressure has to be enormous since there is so much at stake, this time around...
And it absolutely sounds like you know some amazing people. I don't know if you remember, but John Conyers once posted here, so he's officially a DUer! For awhile, so many of us changed avatars to John Conyers in honor of his visit - and his leadership in confronting the 2004 voting irregularities and standing up to the Bush* administration - that it was tough to tell us apart, LOL! Of course, half the board replied to him and I had to laugh since the first poster who replied had a John Conyers avatar...
I know exactly what you mean about needing a break, remember thinking that the 2004 primary season here was particularly rough, but it couldn't touch this one! I took a break myself, and things seem to have settled down for the most part, but there is some residual tension which is no doubt going to be with us until we no longer have the most bizarre and scary election in history behind us.
But it's great to see you back and I'm looking forward to hearing about what you're up to! Welcome home!
