I earmarked today to compile and mail papers for next week’s trustee meeting. In the morning I met with my Treasurer and then I had to deal with various domestic WCVS matters and only really began compiling the papers late in the afternoon. I finally e-mailed papers off at about 10:30 pm and arrived home in time to watch coverage of the US Presidential election.

Elections have always fascinated me – not least as they are the one time when We The People can hold our political masters to account. It is true that an election is a blunt and heavy weapon rather than a surgically precise instrument. But tonight it was thoroughly exhilarating to see The Will Of The People asserted in such a plain and positive and powerful way.

What next, I wonder?
