Friday Night Music and a bit of mindless blather

I listened to this song a lot back in the day. At least, I distinctly recall the song starting, but by the time it ended – well, all I can say is that my memory is fuzzy. I can’t imagine why.

Roundabout by Yes.

On a more political note, I have, for the most part, spared the world my rants this week because the personal and actual political side of my life has intruded. Wednesday I went to Hartford to act as a moot court judge at UConn. It is always fun to play judge and take out my frustrations on the helpless law students. It doesn’t even matter that the problems always involve criminal law, about which I know next to nothing. They don’t know that, and even if they did, they’d still have to pretend to respect me.

Last night, we had a town committee meeting. Ned Lamont dropped by after his Norwich headquarters opening, most of the Mary Glassman family (sans Mary) in tow. It’s encouraging that both Ned and Dan Malloy seem to recognize that they should stick to the high road in this campaign. I know there’s been a bit of sniping, but so far nothing that is going to cause any lasting damage no matter who wins. Along with his usual talking points, Ned made the point that we need to come together after the primary, no matter who wins, and he went out of his way to note that Malloy stuck to the issues during their recent debate.

We did break with our usual practice and endorsed Kevin Lembo in the primary. We don’t normally endorse a contested election, but apparently Jarjura has blown off Eastern Connecticut, so we didn’t see any reason not to return the favor.
