Take two thick slices of Noonie's day old bread, smear Honey Cup honey mustard
liberally over both. Cover both slices with green leaf lettuce. Then on one slice only lay smoked turkey on the lettuce,
a tomato slice on the turkey and sprinkle it with shredded carrot. Then on the lay a slice of provolone cheese over the
carrot then a green pepper ring on top of the cheese. Sprikle with sprouts. Cover with the other slice, lettuce side down.
The letuce should be stuck to the bread with honey mustard so it doesn't fall off when you turn it upside down to cover the
sandwich. Slice sandwich in half with a knife. Wrap in tightly in plastic wrap. Use too much wrap. Tape on label. Tadaaa!
Weighs one pound. Costs Four Bucks.

When
someone is elected and holds office for a long time as a member of a
particular political party, we presume they work in service to the
principles of the party, not the other way around.
Even Bernie
Sanders, who has run "Independent" since at least 1981, did not run for
president "independent" when he sought the Democratic nomination for
president, and did not win it.
In 1997 when the Progressive
Coalition caucus for Ward 3 in Burlington failed to re-nominate me for
the city council, I briefly considered running as an independent, but
decided not only could I not win that way, it would also be very
unbecoming, after having just professed my "party" (coalition) loyalty
just two years before that.
Even the best, most dedicated,
longest serving public servants sometimes lose elections, or the
competition for their party's nomination. If you did your best, and
told the truth during your time in office, then not only do you have
nothing to be ashamed of, you have a lot to be proud of yourself for.
Public service is not easy.
There's this thing Germans called
the "time ghost" or "zeitgeist" to describe the spirit of the times.
This is a moment of rising tumult, peril and opportunity, and when a new
generation steps forward to carry on the fight for the things you have
believed in and worked for your whole life, then you have won, even if
you lose, and letting go is something to celebrate, not mourn. Your
greater victory will compound will grace and wisdom. It will diminish
with any jealous attempt to defy the inevitability of the time ghost.
Apparently I have failed to convince Jane Knodell not to run, Jane run, and she's run, Jane, runnin'.
I don't see any good outcome here now, from her perspective. If she wins she will have defeated the Progressive Party, and that's terribly sad. In a three way race, anything is possible, and people have done what she's attempting- Joe Lieberman and Ellie Blais come to mind- but, I mean... come on. She will have alienated everybody in order to squeak by in one more election, but probably not two.
Of course the Democrats are salivating and also have a better shot now, and a Democratic win, should also be sad from her perspective, not only as the loser but as a long-time purported Progressive.
And of course- Should Perri Freeman and the New Young Progressive Task Force Squad Machine roar like a lion and pull it out, then Jane will really have damaged her legacy to go out that way, I feel.
All well. I shouldn't care so much but the Spring Revolution in the Progressive Party is making me nostalgic and hopeful. I don't understand why Jane doesn't see her defeat in the caucus as a huge success. When you're part of a movement for 25 years, you WANT a bunch of young people to come take it over and kick you out. That's natures way. That means your IDEAS have won. Your PRINCIPLES have won.
Also- take a tip from the Gipper, and do not exploit for political purposes your opponent's youth and inexperience. That is even more unbecoming than turning your back on your own movement.
So, as my daughter would say, the whole thing makes me feel "cringy," but that doesn't mean I'm not popping bucket of popcorn for it as a political pundit. Central District Royal Rumble y'all! Buckle up and stay tuned!
