A Lighter Moment

Ok, so I've been absent from life online for a bit, and I'm not in school. When I'm in school, I imagine I'll be online, stealthing and maybe commenting here and there. But, for now, I've largely been off in entirety.

But I still came onto today to basically explain why, simply, and to share that I'm doing very well.

I think I briefly alluded to the fact that my mother was a candidate in the state Supreme Court race. For various reasons, that's been energy-eating, from the discussions to the related activities to everything else, and it had been interesting for any number of reasons, though in equal measures fascinating...

But I was kind of ready to take an emotional fall. This was and is a very tight race, with four candidates. The three others are Las Vegas lawyers, none of whom are (and I know I'm biased, but I say this having studied the matter fairly impartially) as qualified as my mother for the position on the court, but, as you can tell in the article, a lot of money was going around and it's hard to say who would have won, come Tuesday's primary. The oracle business was not the place to be.

So... primary is over and, yes, we are now two Las Vegas lawyers down. I am thrilled about that, you would have no idea. Further, the Las Vegas lawyer who did get through was, in my opinion (and take it no further than that!), the most qualified in the race. Quite the show, and I'm very happy that Mom's through. It will mean, like now, she's going to be gone a lot of the time convincing the good people of Nevada to vote for her, but I'm glad she's doing that and support her every step of the way, and wish nothing but the very best for her.

I also hope this race stays positive, and I think it will be if Mom can control that, but I also think that, well, she can't. So it'll be kinda intense here on out, as well. But at least that particular part, with the four lawyers and no clear winner, is over.

In the meantime, I'll probably slowly return here, after continuing to work in Nevada for ASAN, for myself, and for Mom. Then I'm back at school, and I'll be making myself busy, but this will come into play more, I believe.

So... just a little update from this little corner of the state of Nevada, one I'm suddenly very proud of.
