Instead of doing my research reading during my lunch hour, I read Time and Newsweek about the election. I took the girls to karate, and after they were in bed, I talked with
kijjohnson and caught up with scads of e-mail rather than sat down to work on the book. About all I accomplished today was to think about titles and make several ineffectual stabs at finding Robert Olsen's ice palaces book. I'll call the Minnesota Historical Society tomorrow. I'm sure I'll be able to track the book (and maybe the author) down through them.
