Filed Today's the final day to file your papers for public office in North Adams. Thank you to all whom I pestered with my clipboard and pen.

The horses are on the track.

I've been debating how to separate my campaign from my blogging and I've come to the conclusion that random thoughts about the election or about other races should stay on this side, while specific policies and pertinent biographical information will be posted to VoteRoach.com.

I will try not to let up on my commentary. And those who wish to debate and comment civilly should do it here, not there.

As always, I want to hear your thoughts and ideas. Don't hesitate to shoot me an email about something new or old or post a reaction to one of my late night missives. The next 90 days are going to be interesting.  ¶ 2:50 PM
