Himeji Castle: view from the bottom

Himeji Castle- view from the almost-top

Yep, GA climbed to the top of this castle today in a thousand-degree heat: all six levels!  What's my point? This has nothing to do with Hoboken or politics... 

Exactly!  I'm on vacay, people. 

Himeji castle- the tippy top. I did it!

Anyway... 

As for what's new in Hoboken politics, I am delightfully detached.  Last I heard was a big shocker: the Reform BoE slate of Tom Kluepfel and a newbie gal were running with (drumroll, please...) 

J-o-h-n M-a-d-i-g-an

Yep. So, technically it's not a Reform slate anymore.  It's a hybrid.  Like if you crossed a bird with a fish, you'd get a bish or a fird.  

Needless to say, GA was shocked. How shocked? In total disbelief. 

I emailed Tom to warn him.

"Tom," I wrote, "There's a rumor you're running with Madigan but I know you'd rather go skinny-dipping in hot lava..."

Then came a call from friends on the board: yes, it's true: Madigan is running with Tom. 

What I told them was this: sorry, I can't support Madigan. 

Not happening. Oh, I remember what he did to Theresa and to Ruthy and what he said to Irene and that he shouted the C-word from the audience at a board meeting and, and, and...

I will not lift a pinky to help him.

Of course, I support the others. Unconditionally. Kluepfel is wonderful and I hear great things about the new gal.

And that's all GA can tell you from the other side of the world.
