let's make dallas not suck
i feel like i've disappeared, but much has been happening. and at lightening speed it seems. sunday, eva and i went to a housewarming party for a former homeless man, jeff. a total sweet heart, jeff is now the proud renter of his own apartment.
i don't know his full story and don't really need to, i'm just glad to help. hal has been instrumental in making this happen for jeff and within two hours the empty apartment went from totally empty to full with furniture and supplies and food. i was honored to be there.
i feel like it was a good experience for eva. she did really well and expressed the excitement some of the grown-ups didn't. she even bought some cotton candy to share at the party with her allowance. her first time to eat cotton candy and drink a soda. what is this world coming to?
speaking of the homeless and hal and my new-fangled interest in politics, zac crain is running for mayor. i can't tell from his website what party he's aligned himself with. and to me, that's just great. i love it that he's on the same page as many of us around the same age. we're sick of seeing dallas just suck. and instead of complaining about it, it's more interesting to do something about it. i'm waist deep in some non-political circles, but its the same sentiment. it's going to be cool to watch this unfold. of course, it remains to be seen whether or not he's the right candidate for the job. either way, it's a bummer we missed the launch at sons of hermann on monday night. i was hanging a show (entry about that next). the best part of zac crain's site isn't necessarily his platform, but rather the slide show. it's always nice to see folks i know.
