Santo & Johnny, "Sleep Walk" from Canadian American Story (Mike Papa Whiskey)
Commentary: Yesterday, election day, was a twenty-one-hour day: I awoke at 4:30 A.M. to arrive at my assigned polling place by 6:00 A.M. in order to open the polls at 7:00 A.M.; the polls closed at 8:00 P.M. & my colleagues & I departed the polling place around 9:30 P.M.; the precinct chairman & I, the co-chairman, decamped to the township hall to submit our ballots, paperwork, & supplies to the township clerk's office; we had dotted all our I's & crossed all our T's & were thus free to go home by 11:30 P.M., unusually early; I was wound up from the day's activity & couldn't fall asleep until 1:30 A.M. Sleeping in this morning would have been in order—& would have set me right—but I was called in to help with counting the weekend collection at my parish after none of the scheduled counters showed upon Tuesday, the usual count day.
