lame duck

Maybe you’ve heard the term lame duck. According to the U.S. Senate website it means, “When Congress (or either chamber) reconvenes in an even-numbered year following the November general elections to consider various items of business. Some lawmakers who return for this session will not be in the next Congress. Hence, they are informally called ‘lame duck’ members participating in a ‘lame duck’ session.”

Christina and I are now lame ducks. We’ve been written off as useless. More like problems to be dealt with than contributing members of the community. Funny how that works. Many people are very interested in us giving as much notice as possible so that they can save themselves. My first impulse is to play that game back — to just try to save ourselves and not worry how it will affect Vajrapani. I know it’s probably not the best thing to do however, so we’re going to pick a date and give it to them. I’m just worried about what will happen if it’s too early (if our expected moving date is sooner than everyone had guessed).
