Its not that I didn&#8217;t want to. The laptop I&#8217;d planned to take with me had a worm. The hotels I stayed at didn&#8217;t have business centers and I refused to look for a computer while my family was awake. One night at Disney World where I was sure I would find a computer I had to travel by bus for fifty minutes to get to a business center in a &#8220;nearby&#8221; hotel. I didn&#8217;t get back to my hotel until 1 AM. <\/p>\n<p>I knew big things were happening because the Press reported on our recent success at fundraising and the School Board panicked and announced the premature closing of schools like Ordean.  Actually <a href=\"http:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/?p=1645\">I announced it <\/a>on this blog and the Trib&#8217;s education reporter confirmed it. No, I&#8217;m sorry. The closing is taking place because the State didn&#8217;t give the District enough money. Dr. Dixon must think he can sell be sell us another bridge.<\/p>\n<p>I kept up with Duluth by trading emails but that was about all I had time for. I didn&#8217;t get to read the Trib daily but had to read all the back issues when I returned. That used to take me a solid day and a half but with today&#8217;s Trib it only took a pathetic hour-and-a-half to go through ten papers. Sheesh! It was a bash <em><strong>Let Duluth Vote<\/strong><\/em> week. Most of those stories are no longer on line for me to link to but I&#8217;ll make a few comments in later posts about some of them.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been spending so much time working on Let Duluth Vote&#8217;s request for legal services as well as the chores that pile up after a short trip that the old blog is desperate for some fresh info. I&#8217;ll see what I can do about that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My eight regular readers have noticed that while I was &#8220;on vacation&#8221; in Florida I did precious little blogging.
