Mike Higgins for the People!

I wish I had a vote in Farmington, New Mexico. Just this once.

Thanks Mike, once more. I needed a gentle jostle. Life's been a bit akimbo and harsh lately. Some of take a while to learn, I suppose.
Of course, it's summer here. Which means 65-75 farenheit with wind (nearly always) sun (a fair chance) and rain (wait, here it comes). And culture's a-flowing by fest and so forth.
Most significantly, I meet the first family visitor to the underside of this sweet planet. My brother Sean and his girl Eva will make the journey this week. Spending about 5 days in Wellington before zooming off to the south island glaciers next week. There'll be cycling and sauvignon blanc, fotos and feasting.

So, I've heard a little about this public office thing. Can you fill me in when you have the chance, Mike?

I haven't heard from you.....

Of course, that's because I haven't checked your blog. I only was reminded today because I have started a new blog for the purpose of contacting those who wish to communicate with me in my capacity as a Trustee for the San Juan College Board. I decided to be a candidate when our local district member resigned his expiring term early so that a replacement could be installed during the last board meeting of the year. He has now been an incumbent for about ½ hour, but the hope was since without any publicity there wouldn't likely be anyone else running, and with no one else running, the incumbent would be a "shoe-in". I decided that I needed to be a spoiler. Here I am, and with a small and short campaign (the election is on March 3rd) I have a very good chance to win. I'm not sure how many other volunteer jobs I'll need to quit in order to serve well, but I am looking forward to winning. My blog is Mike Higgins for the People.
I've heard a little from Tom, and, of course, I talked shortly with you in August when I was in Denver when you called. You sounded good then , and it sounded like you were working toward some goals, and on your way well.
I'll try to check in to the blog more often..
