I've always thought that perhaps one day I might run for some public office, thinking that perhaps I could do some good or another. When it comes down to it, being in some sort of public office requires you to be personable and attend a lot of meetings...neither of which I excel at.

My friend Jenny Matta is running for School Board in Cedar Rapids, and it would be interesting to get that sort of inside track as to what goes on with all of that, if she were to win.
