As things heat up in Hometown politics, I’m again pondering
what role she will play.
The virgin mayor, as it turns out, does not appear to have
made a deal with the feds after all, and has simply delayed the trial because he
needed more time to bring on his witnesses – this includes an expert on
computer hacking.
After moving on from our office last October, she had plans
to move onto TV, telling our office gossip as well as the Small Man that she
had prospects at NBC.
She is pretty enough, and her experience as a singer and dancer
might have prepared her for a TV gig, if she can get around being somewhat shy.
She did some stage acting as a kid, including a role in Damned
Yankees (a role my best friend’s girl also played) and she played Dorothy in
the Wizard of Oz.
Our boss claims our poet also has connections with the
producers of Housewives of New Jersey, and this is likely the venue she intended
to take before her plans fell through – for whatever reason – and she got hired
by the Virgin Mayor as his personal assistant – this coming after she did some
spy work against the Virgin Mayor’s political enemies, and has since been asked
to hunt down the political enemies of the freeholder, who brought the charges
against the mayor.
But as good as she might be at spying, she likely still has
aspirations to perform, whether dancing and singing or acting, even though she
is on the verge of 34.
She once told me that teaching is a lot like acting and from
the limited bit of her teaching I saw, I believe she might have a point, and
her skill at getting people to help her might allow her to make her way onto
the silver screen someday.
Why she remains with the Virgin Mayor when she possibly has
other options is one of the great mysteries of the universe, unless she’s so depressed,
she sees him as her only option.
Every so often, she pops up on the political radar in Hometown,
such as when she got tied up with the Hometown Democratic Chairman and the congressman’s
pr person sent her thugs to drag him away.
I fear that if she does not act soon to move on, she might
get trapped in the Virgin Mayor’s sinking ship.
And TV is a place where she’d likely do well.
