We spent most of the afternoon at a GOP meet-the-candidates meeting in Sparta sponsored by Sarah Stevens, who is running for the 90th district seat in the state house of representatives. Like last week's event in Ashe, where I went to law school with the lead singer of one of the bands performing, I also went to law school with Sarah.
I'm always a little bit nervous speaking at an event like this. I can just imagine Rick's reaction when he sees this ... me? Nervous talking? Who woulda thunk it? Hey, at least I remembered to introduce him tonight.
