Gratuitous "Honey, I'm Hoooome!" Posting

Back safe and sound from our jaunt to Maine.

Fondest memory of the trip? Playing whiffle-ball with the Llama-ettes on the lawn looking out over the bay and teaching them the gentle art of infield chatter. Personally, I'm an aficionado of Cam's technique from Ferris Bueller: "Hey, batta-batta-batta-batta-Sah-wiiing, battah....." The gels, on the other hand, seem to prefer something closer to William Wallace's battle cry just before charging Edward Longshanks.

The neighborhood probably will not recover for years.

By the way, major apologies to The Colossus and Random Penseur, both of whom I had hoped to meet up with on the trip back. Sorry guys - a combo of thoroughly browned-off kids, misplaced slips of paper with phone numbers and unexpected In-law entanglements when we stopped off in Connecticut yesterday put the kybosh on things.

And now, as I was on the road at Five acc emma today, I am going to go and have one serious nap......
