Well I’m 38 and serving my first term in any form of government since HS student council in 1984 (21 years!).

I was sworn in tonight as the newest member of the Lewisville (NC) Zoning Board of Adjustment.  Business was light (someone needed a special permit to put a detached garage on their property), but the swearing in process and the chance to be involved felt really good.

Before I left they handed me a big binder containing the "Unified Development Ordinances", which I’m supposed to learn. 

So I’m 38 and I have my first real homework since 1984…and I volunteered for this!
