Day 1790

Writing Alice's appeal for her long term disability.  It will take time to complete.  After work, I participated in the first of an eight-week long hit & switch doubles league at our club.  There are several fast, excellent, hard-hitting players who've joined.  Tonight we had 25 players total and Robbie stayed all night to organize who played with who.  It was a full-time operation.  It was a bit confusing and chaotic, but still a lot of fun and great practice getting used to playing with different people and different styles.  I didn't get home until after 10.

Al Franken announced he'll resign from the Senate in the next few weeks.  Lots of Dems are furious that the MeToo movement has come to this.  I get it.  I'm disappointed, too.  The timing of this really worked against him, with the Roy Moore election next week and growing resentment that our predator in chief is still there.  That picture really backfired on him.  Without that horrible picture, he's weather this, but with the picture, he couldn't have any more accusers of boorish, inappropriate behavior.  Instead, he had eight accusers, some anonymous, accuse him of inappropriate contact, mainly while taking a picture.  I read the Atlantic Magazine piece about Al Franken and it didn't do Franken any favors.  Anyway, the Giant of the Senate is departing.  He should have been given an opportunity to redeem himself (remember Edward Kennedy, anyone?), but I guess the times they are a changin'.
