My husband & I watched a good portion of Monday night's drawn-out session via the ELCA live webcast. Though it caused us to repeatedly bang our heads on the desk, it was strangely mesmerizing, making it difficult for us to look away. Our favorite moment was when the obviously frustrated gentleman moved to adjourn, and PB Hanson responded (IIRC) wait a minute, let's talk about the meaning of adjourn (or do you mean the meaning of is, Mark?).
As we watched, I couldn't shake the feeling that if Monday night's CWA session were to continue into the wee hours, we would see Alderman Dickie Mell standing on a desk shouting, "Now will you recognize me?" at Mark Hanson. (Apologies to all for that obscure reference to the legendary 1987 Chicago City Council all-nighter in which Eugene Sawyer was finally elected at 4:01am to succeed deceased Mayor Harold Washington.)
You, your son, and all in Orlando are in our prayers as this week continues. We admire your stamina. Keep up the good work, and please keep us updated if you are not too exhausted!
