Return to Normality

Thank you all for your birthday wishes

As Marsha recalled, there are in-laws visiting, and so I decamped to DC for some birthday frivolity this past weekend

Hugs from nieces and nephews are wonderful welcomes

An evening with the Capitol Steps is a great way to get birthday frivolity started

(You really shouldn't miss their Lirty Dies [unfortunately, the one they performed Friday night, with its talk of licking your peader and keeping soap in your hole, is not available online -- but others are!])

Even pinko-commies like me will accept and appreciate manicure/pedicures and hour-long massages now and then (when they are gifts from other people)

Starting an evening with cosmopolitans at a local pub makes younger sisters chatty

Continuing an evening with delicious Indian food, and free wine from the waiter, is never bad

Choosing to see a movie filmed with a hand-held camera (a la Blair Witch Project) is not such a good idea after said cosmopolitans and wine.

Returning from a trip and seeing two large packages from clients on your desk typically means there won't be much post-frivolity blogging

Normal blogging routines will resume next week, I am sure
