What I didn't watch on this or any other night on TV

For the third week in a row, I don't have a free morning.  I drive to the SCLS office to attend a LINK cataloging subcommittee meeting, which lasts only an hour.  Nevertheless, it's still one by the time I get to the library, where I remain until after 10.  JoAnna gets sworn in as a new county board supervisor, but I feel a need to attend the council meeting, and what an inept circus it is.  The Gang of 5 is still smarting from their recent setback and refuse to endorse the mayor's slate of candidates for the various boards and commissions.  I fear not only for the library but for city services in general.

I don't get very far with my continuation of the window cleaning project.   During the afternoon, we take a drive in the country -- west on Airport Road to Cross Plains, to 14 west, 79 north, 16 east until we eventually find the Tree Farm, a "pick-your-own" market located on a hilltop a few miles west of Springfield Corners.  We buy pumpkins and gourds, but I veto the cornstalks.

"There's no room to put them inside the van, Hon."

At Larry and Martha's, Michael is just about ready to fall asleep when we arrive.  Andy is rather rambunctious, filling up our hosts' quiet time with his antics.  Back home, John Dickert joins us for supper, and he and JoAnna discuss her run for a county board seat.
