Actually, there has been an interesting thing in my life lately. Interesting to me.
I've been thanked about 25,000 times in the last few weeks!
You want to get thanked? Just get on the e-mail distribution list for a presidential candidate.
I've signed up for Obama, Clinton and McCain e-mail updates, just to keep up with their official spin on items of the day. It's a rare day that I don't get at least a couple of e-mails from Barack and Hillary thanking me for the hard work I've done in the past, and prospectively for the hard work I'll surely do in the future, to bring about CHANGE!! by supporting their candidacy.
Less McCain stuff, for obvious reasons, though he's definitely around.
Oh, and every Thanks! is within clicking distance of a big red Contribute! button as well, of course.

You said that you signed up for email updates, but have you done anything to support the candidates? I was wondering how that works.
Wow. This is interesting. I've told just 3 people that I've been doing this blog, and they've each read at least some installments, but I wasn't aware that anyone else had ever seen it. Wide readership has not been my goal. May I ask, out of curiosity, how you happened to come across the blog? It's funny, because I started out consciously hoping no one would ever read it. It's strange, I know, but it seemed like a good idea at the time.
And no, I haven't worked on behalf of any of the candidates yet. I haven't finally decided yet which one to support. I have to keep up with them all because it's the "good citizen" thing to do, and because I'm an adjunct government professor who has to at least appear knowledgeable to my students and colleagues.
If you're interested in learning how to get involved in a campaign, that should be no problem at all. Go to your chosen candidate's web site and you'll get all the information you need. I don't know where you live, but if your state has already had its primary, the campaign will not be quite as busy as before the primary. They'll still have activity, though. Later, during the general election, it will be even busier if you want to be involved.
