Not to mention there was Rosemary, as a family lesson as to what they would do to you if you didn't come up to snuff.

If I had a flag, it would be flying at half-mast. People outside MA don't really know what a good Senator he was for his state, working hard to represent them, and using his influence to bring home projects and funding.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have mixed feelings about Ted Kennedy; he'd never have been elected at all but for nepotism, and he basically killed someone while driving drunk and got off with no punishment, but he did push for a lot of legislative things I believe in.

All of this, but he did turn into an incredible Senator.

So, I have a meeting with outside people, which has turned into less of a Big Deal meeting than we thought, so I'm basically going to have to run the meeting, as opposed to any higher-ups. Too bad I am hungover and tired! A friend's problems made me drink too much last night.

Sad about Ted Kennedy. But given the push for the appointment resolution, I figured the end was near.

Last night, I made croquettes for dinner: [link] They were DELISH!! (And I love that the Ikea plates that the croquettes are on in the picture are see through and you can see the oilcloth on our table), a bit of a mess to make, but good.

FTR, I ended up making them with butternut squash.

Sympathy drinking is the worst.

I would like some croquettes!

On further reflection, it's got to be more the staying out too late than the drinking, because I'm pretty sure I had like three beers. Hmph.

If you have to use the phrase "I'm pretty sure", you should probably double the estimated amount of booze.

Heh. There were two on the check, and we got comped a round, so it's got to be four tops. And that was over hours and hours!
