...think you know about political disappointment? We've been doing this since 1968!

Here's me and younger sister, Jennifer, in the midst of the campaign my father was running to elect Harl Haas to the Oregon legislature. If you'd like a meta view, the back of the brochure features a picture of the candidate chatting it up with some local voters - ie my mom, her friend and assorted offspring, sitting on our front porch.

Actually, come to think of it, this is one of the few I recall winning--though mixed up with the ascendency of Richard Nixon. From 1970 on, though... many Wednesday mornings suffused with regret and melancholy. Let's hope there's not too much of that tomorrow!
