I hope you're having a happy International Dress Like a Streetwalker Day, the holiday formerly known as Halloween. Here at my office, I decided to dress like a Rotarian, in part because I have a Rotary meeting today. That'll show them! ;-)
In other news, this weekend was quiet. A Democratic operative rang my doorbell on Saturday and we chatted briefly. I lied to her and said I was voting straight Democratic. I'm probably not - we have a race for Comptroller in Illinois which has become a proxy between the Republican governor and an entirely-too-powerful Democratic Speaker of the House. I'm probably voting Republican in that one race in hopes that both sides get the idea that compromise is good.
In other political news, I see the Clinton emails are back, via Anthony Weiner, the gift that keeps on giving. If Clinton were half as evil as her opponents claim she was, Weiner and his laptop would be sleeping with the fishes on the bottom of the East River. Here in the Land of Reality, she's just another politician and Weiner lives. I'm sure somebody somewhere will change their vote on this news, but I doubt it will be enough to matter.
I've been watching the Cubs in the World Series, which for me means "the TV's on and I'm in the same room as the TV." I actually got about 1,000 words written during last night's game, and during Saturday's game I finished the third book in the Three Body Problem trilogy, Death's End. I hereby officially call it weird. Interesting, but weird. I'm not a fan of the dark forest theory, about which I'll write more anon.
