embarrassing.)

In true fact, I'm happy for the honorifics to be restricted to Christmas
cards. It's comical. It makes me feel like I should be wearing a robe
and a powdered wig. You can just call me Citizen Barnard. :-)

I am proud, however, to have been elected by a majority of the voters in
Stanley. (We don't have an Electoral College here.)

Aw c'mon Wayno, he didn't say he was ashamed of it, just embarrassed
by the title on Christmas cards. Proud and embarrassed aren't mutually
exclusive.

My one brief brush with local politics sounds similar (even though I didn't
get past the primary). Just because I was willing to step up and put myself
on the line for the good of the party, I was, inexplicably, part of the "in"
crowd and was invited to heady political functions and got to party and
press the flesh with the state party powerful, even the governor. Even
among folks who'd known me a while, I became more than the person I used to
be and received more respect than I thought I deserved. Embarassing? Maybe
a little; but mostly it was strange and fun and intoxicating. I sort of
miss it; but I'm also kinda glad I didn't get used to it.
