All the politicians like tirinian best

[firstfrost]

I think I just blew off the mayor of Somerville. For some reason I find this somewhat more embarassing than blowing off the standard political telemarketers. But it took a minute or two after evading the call for his entire spiel to finish registering what he had said, and I had become vaguely disgruntled that he asked if I was tirinian's kid (or wife, but that's slightly less cause for disgruntlement).

We've been getting a bunch asking for "Abe", which zubatac seems to be the one who answers. Much confusion ensues when he says no, he's not Abe,
and corrects what my name is but they still seem to think he's me, and get
even more confused by the fact that actually he can't vote, he's not me, and never even get around to asking if I'm home, which I am. (I'd feel like we should be a little more direct, only he's not *trying* to confuse them
and if he's answering the phone it's usually because my hands are full of baby... but even so it seems like we're blowing them off.)
