Back Home


I don’t have any of my own pictures for a postcard today. I took some with my camera, but just got home and it is very late, so I will have to download them tomorrow. I was joking with my hosts in MN that I really didn’t feel I could leave MN until the whole Franken/Coleman situation was settled. Today, the Minnesota Supreme Court upheld a lower court ruling that votes cast for Franken in the November election were counted fairly. Norm Coleman conceded and it is likely that Franken will be sworn in after the 4th of July, finally able to start serving his constituency, only seven months after being elected. The news all day in Minneapolis said this was a relatively swift proceeding, given that it went all the way up to the state Supreme Court. Anyway, felt good to know that was in the bag before I left tonight.
