Weekend plans

Posted at 8:45 AM on May 5, 2006 by Bob Collins

..for the congressional district conventions. Tom Scheck is covering the 5th. Tim Pugmire is covering the 6th. Since I expect both to be long, multiple-ballot affairs, I doubt I'll have the audio and the obligatory -- if not interesting -- picture of the losers embracing the winners until Sunday. Of course, on Sunday a guy is flying in to Lake Elmo to show me his company's cockpit intercom system (among my other hobbies is a weekly newsletter for experimental airplane builders, and I guess he thinks a mention in it would lead to more sales), so I'm not sure how all the timing is going to work out yet.

Then there's the lawn in the back yard still calling my name...

update 10:29 a.m. If you're live blogging from any of the conventions, please e-mail me and I'll put a list together.
