Ordinarily, I'd be at the SCLS Public Library Advisory Committee meeting.  This is the second one in a row that I've missed, and both times I've been slated to be the recorder.  My reason this month for not going:  a visit from a group from Neenah for a tour of the library.  Steve Proces claims to be 5'9" and can't be much more than 140 pounds.  He reminds me of an educated Dave Bush with a haircut and gray hair.  I take a couple of hours off during the afternoon.  The council meeting provides none of the expected fireworks.  Everyone is surprisingly civil before going home.  Before going home, I photocopy some L.A. riot news articles.

I don't walk into the day with a spring in my step. but neither do I cower in a corner.  I call Jane Robbins and she helps me think through the fall conference program with Margaret Myers.  Now to locate two other panelists.  The Dane County Reimbursement Committee meets for a couple of hours during the afternoon, and my fear about undue tinkering with the cross-municipal use element of the formula prove to be unfounded.  If the county approves this formula, Middleton will receive nearly $200,000 next year.

Supper is supposed to be a break from the library.  I plan to return to check on the Mary Higgins Clark program.
