Yes ... You Can Always Go Home.

Yesterday I was assisting one of the 2 candidates running for Mayor of my city. He is also a Democrat.

I had been helping him out earlier in the campaign but then my wife insisted I finish up my CDL so I had to take a break. I jump back in where I left off last week.

Anyhow yesterday I went out door belling with him and the neighborhood we went to I had no idea where we were going nor did he have a clue I once lived there, in fact it was the first place I lived when my parents moved the family there 47 years ago.

So we went up and down streets with flyers and I had the honor of telling him a bit of my memory's and storys of who lived where and bits about them. Then we went around the corner and there was my boyhood home of 5 years, the people that live there show likely democrats on walking sheets. He joined me as I knocked on the door. I told him in 2 minutes about my memory's.

It was a very humbling moment for both of us. He said if I decide to run for office I should announce to the media on the street right in front of that house.

Yes you can go home again.

1. What a cool story!

I agree that you should announce in front of your childhood home...

It will show that you have deep roots in the community...

2. Man, that is politics the old fashioned way. And of course I mean that in the best way.

The idea of knowing the history of a place, and participating in it's present and future. Thanks for telling us about this.
