And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I did not know about the free HBO until after the concert, but it's being rerun at 7 so I'm TiFauxing to watch after D goes to bed.

Oh, and I have to share a Dylan Likes Carrots moment.

DH and I both forgot about the long weekend on Friday, so we are sans bagels for tomorrow morning and were talking about what we have in the house that could pass as breakfast. (It's either going to be ricotta pancakes or migas - depends what kind of cooking mood I'm in when we wake up.) Meanwhile Dylan is playing with a puzzle on the floor and out of nowhere he stands up and shouts "APPLESAUCE!" We had no idea he had been listening, but apparently he wanted to put his vote in! It was too funny.

Our wings are not tired.

Watching the rerun on free HBO. I'm going to be a pathetic blubbering fool by the end. Overwhelmed by the awesome moment in our history. Imma sap here. Not fighting it since it feels good.

That's cute, Jess!

msbelle, hope the only remaining drama tonight is football. Those parents sound...annoying.

I'm getting excited about this trip. (As opposed to trepidation about the logistics and missing work.) It's less about actually being able to witness that exact moment, more about being part of a bunch of people who are there to celebrate something positive and important. (And lets me get all civics-geeked out. Thanks, Mr. Smith!) Getting to share that with Taylor is special.

Also? I LOVE PETE SEEGER. I was singing along in my house. I love that song. It was a staple in my quaker youth groups. We'd rewrite it to describe landmarks around Ghost Ranch and belt it out. Talent night the last night of the annual regional meeting always included everyone singing the entire original and our local version.

Now tagless for your comfort.

We're watching the Steelers game now. I keep texting my BiL who's a huge Pittsburgh fan. He's a little tense.

Hearing Poe's "Hey Pretty" in a car commercial is disconcerting.
