I scored a Monday trifecta today: I couldn't find my glasses, so my wife had to drive me to KVNI-AM for my annual pre-election endorsement review with news director Dick Haugen and Demo strategist Mike Kennedy (pictured introducing singer Carole King in Coeur d'Alene earlier this year). Then, Dick and Mike informed me that I'd ID'd Mike as Mike Gridley in this morning's Huckleberries column. Then, Dick nailed me for being a flipflopper re: Hagadone Gardens downtown here. I wrote the editorial endorsing the project in this morning's paper here. Mike: "You know, the F in D.F. stands for Flipflop." Goodness, I support a Hagadone project for one time in 20 years, and they never let you hear the end of it. Oh well, it's time for your fix.
