"Good night, Mrs. Calabash...wherever
you are!" That was comedian Jimmy Durante's way of saying goodbye at the end of his show. My sign-off is not quite so simple. If there is anything simple, it is me, myself...being simple. Simple for spending hundreds and hundreds of hours attending meetings, doing research and making out OPRA requests for information on the shenanigans of elected officials in Downe Township. So, now, after 23 years of political activism, I've finally decided to do life differently. I'm going to stay home on those evenings when the Downe Township Committee or the Downe Planning and Zoning Board is meeting...and watch television. I am really very ignorant of television. I've never watched a single episode of Dancing With the Stars, Lost, NCIS, The Apprentice or West Wing. I have watched a few episodes of Law and Order. I really am totally out it: I know next to nothing about television or movie trivia...or sports. I think it's about time for me to catch up with this stuff. I can have two extra evenings a month if I cut out the Downe Committee and Planning board meetings. If I do that, I'll finally be able to talk intelligently about trivia. Best of all, Mayor Cook won't have me to kick around...and to limit my comments and questions to only three minutes. He won't have to worry about me investigating whether he really lives in Money Island. What have I accomplished? Anything? Or nothing? So...good bye Downe Township political activism. Hello cozy nights of television and trivia. It has been fun and enlightening but not very productive. About all I can say is this: So long...and thanks for all the fish.  |
