Not taking that bet. I'm the same way, but since I'm still working I have to force myself to bed by midnight and no later. I still wake up before the alarm at 6:15. Weekends, all bets are off.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am sleepy now...

I'll have to try mixing spelt with white flour. I generally use flour made of things other than ordinary wheat, but half-wheat bread might be less migraine-causing than full-wheat. (That was too many hyphens.)
Fantastic pictures, Jess! That's one gorgeous baby.
I'd show the rugby calendar to The Girl, who is a big fan, but I'm fairly sure she doesn't watch it for the male bodies. Just a vague impression I have.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
AZ Republicans Resign After Giffords Shooting, Citing Threats From Local Tea Partiers
Huh.
Just hours after 22-year-old gunman Jared Loughner launched a shooting spree at a Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) constituent event in Tucson on Saturday that left six dead and 14 wounded, Legislative District chairman Anthony Miller, a Republican, announced that he would resign his position. In an email to the state’s GOP chair, Miller cited “constant verbal attacks” after his election last year “and Internet blog posts by some local members with Tea Party ties made him worry about his family’s safety.” Many of his Republican colleagues followed him out the door:
...
Miller said when he was a member of McCain’s campaign staff last year has been criticized by the more conservative party members who supported Republican opponent J.D. Hayworth. The first and only African-American to hold the party’s precinct chairmanship, Miller said he has been called “McCain’s boy,” and during the campaign saw a critic form his hand in the shape of a gun and point it at him.

I keep waiting for shame to kick in on the right, and I'm getting very worried.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I probably shouldn't be trying to work today. I'm pretty sure I just sent off the wrong email, but I'm afraid to go check. Eh -- it's a day off!

There is no shame. There is only Zuul.

I bet it'll kick in once a Republican gets shot for not being conservative enough....
