sisyphusshrugged | oh, man, tired

So we spent the weekend in DC, where we were hosted by the perfectly lovely Ignatz menage (Mr. Sam is the blogger, currently on hiatus, who spearheaded the blogstorm that helped to save us from lifetime tenure for a particularly hideous candidate for the federal judiciary, as well as the lawyer who backed off that asshole who was trying to sue Atrios), brunched with the equally lovely Surfdom team, then went off to Baltimore where we ~~whacked~~ corrected crabs with mallets in company with the Otters.

We also managed a successful handoff of a great deal of yarn to Marilee, who makes baby blankets for homeless shelters (and got a whole bunch of terrific crochet cotton from both her and Jill in return).

The home team (HM and entourage) thoroughly enjoyed itself and hopes to sleep until at least Tuesday if at all possible.

I'm sort of relieved about President Reagan. I'm sure it's been an agonizing time for his family and most likely for him as well.
