Apparently I hide behind my wife??? Most who have met us (and there are several) realize that I couldn't hide behind my wife if I wanted to!

Coach, you have my email and if you don't, it's (eyesofbear77@aim.com). I'm not sure where you get your information from, but I have been fairly active and out in public. I met several people Saturday and can name a number of recent events I attended. I even spoke to people! OMG (now we should all faint). Do I speak out? Well, I think you can ask a number of people about that. I'm not shy, that is for sure. I did not attend the BB coalition on Nitrogen Pollution last week (first one I missed!) because of a prior commitment. Seriously, you need to spend more time researching before you open mouth and insert foot.

It's interesting that you speak about this because as I have mentioned, there was a meeting which was supposed to bring both sides together. I did attend, but your two MWF leaders weren't having any part of the combined effort, so I went home. I think that speaks for itself.

As far as Town Meeting, you are correct, that was my first. Hopefully, it won't be my last. I love the concept of Town meeting. Of all the governments I have experienced, this is the best. I wish more people would attend, but I cannot speak for them. I know we had neighborhood meetings to discuss issues specific to the neighborhood and we had good representation at Town meeting. I could lie and tell you I stayed home and hid behind my wife (if it makes you feel better), but  that would simply be a lie.

At any rate, I hope this clears up your concerns about where I go and what I do. Normally, I would smile and nod, but since it seems to have you very upset, I wanted to do my part to combat your high blood pressure!
