Thanks Tao, it feels quixotic a lot of the time but every so often someone comes up to you to thank you for something you did for them or their community years ago and all the aggravation melts away. I got that a lot when campaigning. That felt good.
Thanks Tom, surveys never take the pins and needles away no matter how good they look.
Hey Ding, to be fair my opponent didn't really step on the gas. He is a very good man and actually a friend as we'd once served on the same board. He filed the day before I did and didn't know I was the one coming back. When we saw each other prior to the start of the campaign proper we exchanged a big hug and well wishes. If I were to have lost to any of my four opponents it would have been he I wouldn't have minded losing to. Someone told me that he posted his thanks on facebook and now intends to enjoy his retirement. I wish him the best but do hope he doesn't mind if I hit him up on policy advice now and then. A shame to let the wisdom of our elders go to waste.
