April 2, 1991

Session 9 of my Basic Reference course goes well, though once again I attempt to cram at least three hours of materials into less than two hours.  If I teach this course in 1993, I really need to completely revamp the discussion questions.  I skip the State Street stroll and return to Middleton directly.  I don't even check for new Savoy Brown CDs. I have a chance to play with Eddie before going to the library.  At 4, I join other city officials to meet with Senator Kasten.  He seems impressed when I mention that my wife works with Broydrick.  I even have the chance to lobby him about LSCA.

I walk home for supper -- a fruit-and-yogurt salad -- and return to the library for an evening at the info desk.  I work on a revision of next week's ETN notes but don't make much headway.  I notice the the syllabus for 10 and 11 is a real jumble.

Eddie's up til past 11.  Finally I just put him to bed, and he falls asleep without fussing.

It's after 11 by the time we leave Two Rivers.  JoAnna doesn't offer to drive, and I make no fuss.  The boys sleep, she reads, and I let my mind wander over an expanse of brain-cell terrain while cruising along Interstate 43 to Milwaukee.  We visit the Broydrick office -- only Jeannie and Moira are there -- and eat lunch at a nearby arcade.  By the time we get to the airport, we have a 45-minute wait before Barb deplanes.  So begins a new and what portends to be a much different life in Middleton.
