Chore Bingo-ing wouldn't have to be formal, Harmony. Next time bop in here with your numbers and say, "pick one". I enjoy the random-ness of it, too. Or should I say, the focus of it when I'm feeling random about it.
The time change is turning my ddad rather angry, as he thinks I am late doing everything.
With HRH back home, I left ddad here with him, already miffed because supper had been "late". Went to vote after picking up dd and on the way back stopped for milkshake for my ddad's dessert, suggested by HRH, who said he was sure he would appreciate it. But we got back to find my ddad very irritated with me, because dusk was falling and he thought we were very late getting home (not at all) and neglectful. Sigh. Even after explanations/reminder about time change, he comes right back to the same upset, and even asks dd to tell him where ELSE did we go, since, obviously, I have been out gallivanting around until all hours.
At polling place, I ran into the former Mayor Pro-Tem, whom I used to cover frequently while writing for the regional paper. It was nice to be able to introduce dd to him and chat briefly about shared memories. He is running for the board again. I told him I was glad to be out of that life and was he sure he wanted back in! Another very partisan fellow was interested only in giving everyone a list of the candidates who belong to a particular party, which is absolutely inappropriate in our always non-partisan local elections. I thanked him and took his paper just as I took others, and used it as a teaching moment for dd. No, we do not tear up a political flyer into little pieces until we are back in our own home. lol.
