Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

My thinking is all of the close-in hotels will be booked up too

Zen, is it too late for whoever is doing the emergency hotel booking at your office to look at boutique hotels? I don't know if they're more or less likely to be filled up than the big chain ones, but I'm betting places like the one I stayed for the Washington F2F aren't super obvious for casual visitors.

Steph, it sounds like the snacks ringleader should take the cross of family burdens he's bearing and split it up to sell as cordwood.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'll drop the suggestion on him, Matt. It's worth a look, certainly.

Zen, also, there are some small places in DC - the only ones that come to mind are the Windsor Inn (on 16th Street, NW) and an Adams Morgan bed and breakfast type place on Lanier Street, NW.

hip deep in pie

Ugh Steph. I've been battling clothing moths for a couple of years. They're not a swarm, but I think they're gone and I'll find some in the spare room closet or the basement. Bastards.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Tim vacuumed like crazy last night, although we need to check the closet this weekend. (I don't think I have anything wool in the closet, because wool makes me itch. However, apparently they like dark places, so I'm braced to find them in the closet.)

This, combined with reading the Marie Kondo book, is making me want to get rid of 3/4 of our shit.

Excellent!

Thanks. If I were handling this myself, I'd be putting people in small hotels like this.

I keep saying I'm going to get rid of 3/4 of my shit, but I keep not doing it. I got as far as taking photos of shoes for eBay last weekend, but I didn't list them yet.

I had carpet beetles at one point - they ate holes in all my good wool suits that I'd tucked away in the hope that I'd lose enough weight to wear them again. sigh ...
