It's Alive!

I know I've been awol for the last week and a half, but it's been crazy-nuts-busy up in here!  Seriously, what with packing, flying to DC, attending a week long workshop at the Library of Congress, melting into a giant pile of human goo in the heat and humidity of Washington DC in mid/late July, and then coming back home and sorting through laundry, running errands, and adjusting to being back in the office!  Oh, and then there's the 450 pictures I took while I was in DC!  Ugh!!  My head is spinning!  I plan on spending the evening doing absolutely nothing, except maybe some puppy snuggling, and then I'll be back, for real, tomorrow with the first of many installments of my DC recap.  Catch you on the flippity-flop!
