The tangled web often gets its Gordian knots wound up at 2AM – which starts a day WRONG. But… that’s what comes of working late. (L)
What’s good about it is … well, nothing much. At least the telephone doesn’t usually ring within the 2AM to 7:30 AM slot… I *think* that’s a blessing. But I’ve never worked this shift this long. Maybe I’m outliving the brain’s decaying function – Hard to say.
What is interesting is the way in which this contest is sliding around in the polls. I’ve never noticed it to this degree before… but then that was never my supposed expertise anyway. My BIG education came in 1964 when I worked on the RNC staff that had offices on “I” street. There I talked to many of the state chairmen or their designees – but often the chairmen and women themselves --- who were telling me they were confident of winning the ’64 race of Goldwater- Miller against. LBJ…
Oh what a headache on the morning after. I didn’t drink any of the hard stuff that I guess was around. I do think I must have gotten dehydrated. Barb and I were hanging around the Goldwater hotel… and by 9 PM or so we must have known what a disaster it was. I was floored – just not literally. We went to the home where we were to stay and our bed assignments were disarranged… so I think we snuck out of the home and went to a motel… It was a TERRIBLE NIGHT.
Is there healing in knowing at 2:25 AM *THIS* morning that we’re not in that kind of electoral pinch today. We’re just almost 11 months away from some kind of electoral upset. I wonder why my brain brings it up now. But then I don’t know one person who regularly reads this BLOG. So… I think I’m writing it in the closet anyway. Wonder if anything will *ever* come of it.
Time… beyond time to quit… and see if I can sleep. See you tomorrow everybody. Enjoy the day. Coram Deo… look it up! (J)
Cordially, IN HIM
Jack
