It’s just not a traditional Thanksgiving here unless I have to drop everything in the middle of making a batch of onion dill bread and send David out to get a critical ingredient. 4 years ago, it was yeast: Phew, had un petit crise earlier today when I started to make the onion dill bread – I had purchased cake yeast (that is, it’s pressed into a cake and has to be refrigerated, not that it’s just for making cakes). And when I opened the wrapper, there were three or four different kinds of fungus on it. At the time,…

The tech problem was solved this morning and we’re up and running again. However, we’re not terribly busy and so later today they’ll probably offer “downtime” or unpaid time off. I won’t be able to avail myself of it because I’m covering for someone who specializes in small groups. Ominously, there are now memos making the rounds about training for new accounts, more advanced training, and one-to-one feedback meetings. It’s the season when travel cuts back, but this is pretty quiet even for November. Ironically, this is the time of year when I get hit with small hotel blocks for…

UPDATE: This was the scene Tuesday night, in our friend Jill’s downstairs wood-paneled rumpus room watching Indecision 2008, Jon Stewart’s and Stephen Colbert’s brilliant live coverage of the Election Night returns. This was actually taken early on, during the “Jimmy, juice it” competing title image sequence. Oh, the ludiocrity! It was choice.

This morning we ran some errands, went back to the house to retrieve my forgotten ID, and then we went to the village hall to vote. When we got there, we were waved over to a small table and given early-voting applications to fill in and sign – fortunately, I had thought to retrieve my actual voter’s registration card, which had stuff on it we needed, like our precinct number. Otherwise, they would have looked it up. We were advised about the constitutional convention kerfuffle, and were given a sheet explaining what the ballot initiative was, how by law it’s…

Someone me sent the following via email several days ago, thinking it was probably something I’d want to see.  I think they thought it was funny, the idea that Illinois wants to get rid of Barack Obama. We went back and forth in email about it, and my correspondent thinks I jumped to the wrong conclusion about what’s going on in this little message. I’ve taken a couple of days to think it over, and I now agree that it’s not the “whisper campaign” kind of message, with a hidden message of racism, that I originally thought. It’s just a…
