Three days before the election, JoAnna's not sure what to do.  There's not need to make a pest of herself, but at the same time, why let up now when the self-appointed Mr. Middleton could come up with a major sleaze move.

While Kelly watches the boys, JoAnna and I attend the Jefferson-Jackson Day dinner in Milwaukee.  She's sure it's at the Hyatt Recency, but we find no sign of Democratic life there.  The concierge is some apolitical bimbo wannabe.  It's the person to whom she is recommending restaurants that points us in the right direction.

We sit with Bill and Cindy and endure an overdose of Democratic cheerleading.  The previously advertised stars of the show, Bill Clinton and Jerry Brown, are too busy fighting over New York State's delegation to attend.  Hillary stands in for her husband and makes me wonder why she's not running for President herself.  We leave after her rousing remarks.  Supposedly Jerry's 83-year-old mom is standing in for him.

"Conundrum", the final episode of Dallas.

Not a show we watched at our house.

The plan is to work a half day, but I work through lunch and don't leave the library until 3.  I prepare the board report and update my tally of the invoices.  I fear that the book budget is being spent too quickly.  I also feel a need to tidy up my office.  The obsession with 1969 music leads me to where I'll find three tapes that will help me along with my recording project.  I grab a quick meal at Burger King before driving to Kids Play to pick up Andy.  JoAnna has a late meeting with Bill.
