Last night, at Boston’s beautiful Colonial Theater, Presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg observed that a synonym used for “candidate” is “hopeful.” Presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg then observed how appropriate that was, because a political candidate should have and inspire hope for the future.
I was very hopeful, last night, after listening to Presidential hopeful Buttigieg speak and answer questions from the audience, including a question about what his dogs were wearing for Halloween. I am hopeful I am correct when I report that one of Presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg’s dogs is dressing up as an avocado for Halloween.
I am hopeful this clears up any doubts about my memory:
I found that hopeful photo online, after searching for “Buttigieg Halloween avocado.” Presidential hopeful Buttigieg’s dogs — Truman and Buddy Buttigieg — have a twitter account, and hopeful comments in response to that photo included:

Is Truman’s costume toast?
Here are my hopeful photos from yesterday:

Thank you for sharing the hopeful scene, Ann.
Thank you for sharing always, Mark.
Hopefulness is what we all need now.
I am hopeful, Derrick.
The very fact that Pete Buttigieg is running as a major candidate, and that he can be open about who he is and married to someone he loves, gives me hope. And dogs may not be cheaper than therapy but they do provide excellent therapy any time it’s needed.
You provide excellent therapy any time it’s needed, Chris.
I would really enjoy reading the papers again if the Presidential hopeful with the avocado dog became president. Thanks for giving me hope.
And, hats off to Vivian, who gave hope a boost.
Hats off to you, Maureen, who always gives me a boost.

I am hopeful that I’ll get to meet an avocado dog some day!
