I attend the SCLS annual meeting at the Monona Community Center after dropping off Andy and visiting the library.  The front doors didn't get locked last night.  The first session on ADA is informative, but the session on Inform Wisconsin is, for me, repetitive.  I skip lunch, wanting to get an Area Leaders meeting underway by 1:30.  Larry Martin and I drive to the Dells to attend a WAPL board meeting, which turns out to be a productive two hours.  As I leave the Holiday Inn to return home, I almost regret my decision not to stay overnight, but the romper-room country sounds emanating from the bar help me on my way.

I'm up early enough to be on time for a 9:30 meeting but the chance to squeeze in a little taping keeps me tethered to my home workspace until 9.  And from here to Monona through the Isthmus is not a quick cruise.  The meeting lasts a lot longer than expected, until 12:05 actually.  Most of us have depressing stories to tell.  Pat Erickson actually has to cut $10,000 from Stoughton's library budget.  All that testifyin' adds to the length of the meeting.  So instead of driving to Middleton via Half Price Books, I take a direct route.  With Liz taking the day off, I put in some overtime.  The board meeting goes extremely well.
