for those suffering from Red Plan fight withdrawal

I’m on vacation. Finally. Took off six days after I’d planned to such was the accumulated weight of untended to family work. Drove to Omaha yesterday. Sick as a dog with a cold. Arrrrrchuuuuuuuuu! sniff, sniff.

Nov. 3rd was the end of my fight. Now its just a search for details to fill in gaps in my much anticipated and reviled book.

Got a call from Sarah Horner while on the road yesterday. She was asking me questions related to her eduspeak blog posting last week. I joked around in my sniffly misery.

I’m sure my critics hope the dismissal agreement will shut me up. Not quite.

Judge Hylden still hasn’t to my knowledge ruled that he will return our bond. I presume this is just a typical judicial formality with all the attendant judicial delays.

One of my supporters toted up the votes for incumbents and challengers and came up with 2,000 more for the challengers. Pretty impressive considering the drubbing the Trib administered to us over the summer and our side’s remarkable disorganization.

The Red’s have the majority though and the City Council responded by giving lots more variances to the District for its ill chosen East Stadium site. Spoils of war.

I’ll get to blogging again when I’ve got some time but the blogs myopia over the Red Plan will be a thing of the past. I can now afford the luxury of irritating people who agreed with me on the Red Plan vote but little else.
