I was at a son's football game last night and a kind-hearted dad volunteered to help me with my re-election campaign. He was only mildly embarrased to hear that I wasn't actually running for re-election.
In early August I was at a neighbor's party and after having introduced myself ("Hi, I'm Phil Young") and spoken to a guest for ten minutes or so he says to me "doesn't the mayor live around here"?
I've got a ton of good stories from my fours years as mayor. From those who think it's a full time job to those who are incredulous that anyone would do it for $10,000/year--yeah, me too.
My favorite story came from a visit a few years back to Prairie View elementary school. A second grader wanted to know where my security detail was. She seemed genuinely worried that I was alone.
I've got the time and now the medium. Stay tuned.
