I am not always so good with follow through.

And, I like to take action and have resolution.

This combination means I sometimes err on the side of getting things done rather than doing things right.

I’ve really taken my friend Mark’s advice to heart “Right is good, done is better.”

(Although he also rather contradictorly said “If you’re going to do it at all why not do it right?”–in reference to doing the dishes, which I frequently do a sub-par job at but definitely think that’s better than no job. Why not do it right? That takes more time and effort!)

So I consider it an accomplishment that I not only obtained Biden/Harris lawn sign, but actually got our Biden/Harris lawn sign in the our lawn.

(We still have a “Love your neighbor–Your black, brown, immigrant, disabled, religiously different, LGBTQ, fully human neighbor” sign in our driveway. It’s been there so long I’m wondering if it’s too dated to put out. The sentiment isn’t dated but maybe the terminology?).

Anyway, I did a sub-par job in taking complimentary selfies with said lawn sign and to show off campaign shirt (I’ll just leave it at NOT very flattering selfies).

One lesson learned: taking a selfie of a lawn sign on a hill is challenging!

I also learned taking a selfie that can capture a rather long slogan is tricky.

And yes, Chad and I do have matching t-shirts (after days of agonizing which shirts we should get).

Of course one could ponder if the question is “Why do it right?” but rather “Why do it at all?”

Yes, the lawn sign is good…but a selfie (even a flattering one) probably isn’t necessary…

Okay, the lawn sign probably isn’t going to even accomplish all that much in our NE Minneapolis liberal enclave. Our lawn sign is the definition of preaching to the choir–a choir no longer practicing because of COVID.
