My daughter’s car battery died so I had to give her an emergency drive to work and transport the Tan Man to daycare this morning. Gary Glass kindly jumped the car so I could drive it to Hemlock Garage to have the battery juiced up or replaced and the car winterized. GG and I will get together later this morning to discuss the last 11 days of the school board campaign while I open the envelopes which have been returned to the Vote Like It Counts<\/a> <\/strong>PO box with book orders and requests for lawnsigns. <\/p>\n

Gary told me he’s heard good things about the TV ad I helped work on. He has some other projects for me to work on which will require me to hold off sticking up lawnsigns a little while longer today. At least I won’t get as wet as I did yesterday afternoon sticking them up in the rain.<\/p>\n

Not having had time for breakfast I stopped off at Perkins East before heading home. One of the ISD 709’s principals was walking out and we exchanged the briefest of pleasantries as I headed in to inspect the muffins behind the counter. I was about to pick out a frosted pumpkin muffin. (I’m very partial to pumpkin. Claudia has already made a pumpkin pie from scratch and we took the Tan Man on the Pumpkin Express <\/strong>last weekend to gather up four of the beasts for jack-o-lanterns) Before I had a chance to order Superintendent Dixon showed up to pay a bill. A meeting of School poobahs had evidently just concluded. <\/p>\n

Dr. Dixon heard me order my desired muffin and commented brightly that he loved pumpkin too and had just had a pumpkin blizzard. I explained most cordially that this was one of my favorite blizzards but that I ordered mine with Reese’s peanut butter cup bits mixed in. He said he thought that sounded interesting. I told him it was delicious.<\/p>\n

I’ve now consumed my muffin and the coffee that I ordered with it and will enter a couple more posts before I return to the campaign that will determine who will become Dr. Dixon’s boss for the next two years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
