Prelude
The following is based on actual events and locations.
Morrisville Middle-High School parking lot, 7:26 p.m., Wednesday, April 22, 2009.
A man on his way into the building for the school board meeting sees board member Marlys Mihok, who has just exited her vehicle.
She speaks.
Marlys Mihok: Good evening.
Jon Perry: Hi, how are you?
Marlys Mihok: Better than you, any day.
Wow, Marlys. Bitter much?
But, this doesn't suprise me, as I have had, and/or heard of very similar conversations with the Queen of snippy come-backs.
I'll bet she sits up and night and practices.
I left the meeting around 10 pm - I hear it ended around 11.
What's this I hear about a stack of emails that surfaced in the 10 o'clock hour?
I wonder - do they paint a flattering picture? I can't wait to see what they reveal!
Ya know, this just might be funny if it wasn't a high public official that said it.
Jon needs to be MUCH better prepared for this type of eventuality. If he had stayed up all night thinking of snippy things to say, instead of having a life, the conversation could have gone like this.
Marlys Mihok: Good evening.
Jon Perry: It's a much better evening for me than it ever will be for you! Ha!
And Jon would have won.
Come on Jon. Get your head in the game!
Maybe you should allow school kids to walk past your house after school and you could learn some of their 4th grade playground tactics to use with adults.
Nanny-nanny-boo-boo.
At the mtg., Steve Worob mentioned again that his book is coming out. It going to blow the lid off the filthy festering pus bag of corruption in the Morrisville School District.
When?
It's been coming out for years. I've heard tales of annotated, Post-It note laden, manifesto-like piles of papers floating around, but no book. I believe there may even be a scrimshaw version carved on baleen or Sperm Whale bone, but no book.
A friend of mine, who is by no means a professional author, recently self-published a book. Its looks darn good, with a professional cover, nice fonts & graphics, etc. It wouldn't look out of place at Barnes & Noble. It cost him less than last year's bond defeasement-fueled, piggy bank-draining school tax reduction to do it.
You can buy it on amazon.com. I don't mention this to plug my friend's book (I won't even mention his name or the title). I'm just saying it's quick, easy, and relatively inexpensive to do.
So he really oughta do it - or stop mentioning it. Actions speak louder than words. Plus, I want to read it.
I like fiction.
At the meeting, John DeWilde, who was sitting behind me, asked me if I wanted to "take it outside with him" when I asked him to stop his constant heckling during public comment.
After a multi-year hiatus, he comes back for a couple of board meetings as a candidate, and already he's lookin' for a brawl.
Is Al Radosti looking to pass the torch, or does he need back-up?
