We're home alone again tonight. School is closed for most of the younger members of our youth group tomorrow, so a couple of our leaders put together a trip to the state legislature.

I had hoped to go, but the boss shortened the deadline for my season justifications by a day. So I've been working this evening. And need tomorrow as well. To top it off, the boss will be at the legislative session tomorrow and Tuesday.

Wife took tomorrow off from work, intending to go on the trip. She knows all three of our local legislators personally, and hopes to get the boys on the floor of the session. She was hoping we could all go, with her and the heelers sleeping in a motel room tonight. But instead, the heelers are home with me and she's sleeping on the floor of a Baptist church in Capitol City with the rest of the group.

They were supposed to leave at 15:30, but one of the leaders and drivers (I've mentioned her before, but I'm too lazy to look up the link. But wife, youngest son and wife's godson were delighted when Buffy the Vampire Slayer had an evil demon by the same name.) was over an hour late. They didn't get out of here 'til almost 17:00, and wife was hoping to be over Sherman Hill before sunset.

Since they haven't called, I assume they arrived okay.

Heelers are still curled up on the couch in the living room, waiting for their Alpha to come home. Suspect only the mother will sleep in the bedroom with me.
