I made it
I made it home from my adventures with W. They weren't so much adventures as.... distractions maybe? I'm not sure how to classify it.

I will say this - I had lunch in the hotel where W. was having his fundraiser hours before the big event. The lunch crowd was unusually thin and the tension was enormous. I wouldn't recommend it for digestion. My usually chatty bartender friend told me he'd been instructed by management not to talk to much and to keep any political opinions to himself.

I think the lesson I've learned from my misadventures with W. is that you should bring a sack lunch on the days when the President visits your neighborhood.

What I'm reading
I was nursing a sickly husband for much of the weekend - when we weren't having the tire fixed (the car is 2 weeks old and already had it's first flat tire - I realize I'm talking about the car like a baby). So I didn't get to finish up the book I've been reading and enjoying called Death Rat. Mike Nelson, of MST3K fame is the author and it's a very funny book skewering the weirdness of the current state of American fiction. Oh and mocks all things Minnesota the only way a native son could.
