Well, the President was made to answer for his failures and develop truly bipartisan solutions, the soldiers came home, the illegally held captives at Guantanamo were released, Clinton and Carter brokered a real and lasting peace throughout the Middle East, we finalized a plan to end our dependence on foreign oil by 2010 by investing in a comprehensive network of propane- and bio-fueled public transport and local agriculture and rehabbed urban cores to increase healthy density, oh, and every American was guaranteed health coverage for life. It was such a great week!

*sigh*

We also won the lottery and scored the winning touchdown for Notre Dame.

I've been terribly curious about your house guest saga, but I don't want to pry.

Notre Dame??

Blasphemy.

My poor houseguest arrived and got to hang out and have fun for one evening and then his hostess, which would be moi, woke up deathly ill and he wisely hightailed it out the door to go rock climbing around the state. He showed back up late last night and I think he's leaving again either tonight or tomorrow, suitably horrified, because as we know I live on the island of lost boys and when I give up and go to bed for three days the household essentially collapses, which is to say that when he got in last night around 2:30 someone was having a bath by candlelight, someone was asleep on the couch, the dogs were out chasing possums, I was reading science fiction under a large fan and noone had washed a dish or picked up a plate since Sunday. I feel bad but oh well, it wasn't like I wanted to get sick like this; it's been awful. I just hope he didn't catch it.

Wow! Kind of took care of your problem, didn't it?

Mysterious ways, mysterious ways.

Mudpuppie lost a leg, but gained a sexxy, bubble-blowing roommate!
