The Groton Democrats had a fairly successful fundraiser today. As I said yesterday, we held a tag sale … garage sale, whatever, at Sutton Park. We raised a decent amount of money, but it wasn’t really about the money, at least not for me.
What it was about was clearing out all the stuff that other people have stored in our barn over the past year or so, in anticipation of this very event. As a bonus, we got rid of a lot of stuff stored there since it was a clubhouse (later a den of iniquity) for my son and his friends. It now seems possible, if only barely, that we can make use of the space in this venerable structure, which started life, I am told, as a chicken coop. We have fantasies of, someday, using our vast wealth to convert the barn complex (two buildings, actually) into a small apartment for visitors and a large workspace from which, who knows, the Groton Democrats might someday mount yet another quixotic attempt to take over town government. That happy day awaits the arrival of the vast wealth. How to get it is the issue. All ideas are welcome, provided they require no expenditure of effort on my part. Is that asking so much?
