She's opened the door and is waiting. And I'm fumbling badly.
I identified myself and started to ask for the name on my list. And then, suddenly, my mind went completely blank

I can't remember the name I read to myself just a moment ago. Worse, I've lost my place in the sheaf of pages. I thumb through my papers, bumbling, apologizing that I'll have the name in a moment

She watches me

Got it! I'm looking for so-and-so

They moved, she says

I wanted a twenty second contact, but I'm beginning to feel like I've been here an hour: I'm sorry to have bothered you, ma'am. Can I offer you some information about Democratic candidates?

This is for the Democrats? she asks. She pauses an instant. Oh, yes! Absolutely! And she takes the packet

A lot of people on today's list have moved away., but the new occupants all seem very sympathetic to Dems

3. My dear struggle4progress...
I'd say that today, your name seemed to be very appropriate...

Ah, and you're human. You did well, and you might have made a convert...

Recommended.

:hug:
