---Twelve hours on the road roundtrip taking Neil back to college. He slept most of the way, having stayed up most of the night once again working for the Howard Dean campaign. He stayed a day or two late to attend the Iowa caucuses, having worked hard over his semester break on that campaign, specifically writing code for its Internet strategy. I hope the disillusionment over how things turned out is not too severe. All seemed to be going so well, but then, I guess, the established powers reared their heads. Not unlike what happened in the late sixties with winds of change co-opted into breezes of control. But I don't remember ever being all too surprised back then at the way things turned out either.
