So I got a call yesterday from a reporter at the Denver Post . . . several weeks ago I took a political survey on the phone - and at the end they asked if it would be OK if a reporter from the Denver Post called me to discuss my answers. I said sure. So - sure enough, I get a call from the Denver Post yesterday to discuss the 700 billion bailout plan (which was kind of funny because the survey I took had nothing to do with this - the bailout didn't even exist then - it was about presidential politics.) Anyway - I spent about 20 minutes on the phone with the reporter, and then about 2 minutes after I hung up, I got a call from a photographer who wanted to stop by the house for some pictures. I said sure! How fun - it's not everyday you get your picture in the paper! So the photographer stopped by - very nice guy - and he told me that he just wanted to hang out for awhile. Just go about our business as normal and pretend he isn't there. Pretend he is a fly on the wall. Yeah right! Go about my business while a photographer is in our faces? But we did our best. He was such a fun guy - playing with the kids. Allison was hungry so we had a snack - and then played puzzles on the floor and read some books. After about an hour he said he got what he needed and left. What a refreshing experience! It felt so good to talk to a reporter and have my little voice heard.
