Off the Air

Hi. Won’t be posting this weekend. Gonna be off the air. Off the grid, as they say.

There’s a big engagement party being held for my sister-in-law down in Washington DC. The Hoppers will be traveling down there in our new used Pilot (we’re probably on the road as this is being posted), staying over two nights at a clean & nifty Holiday Inn Express. The wife’ll have to work Saturday (DC is part of her new turf), so I’ll have the girls for either sightseeing or hotel pool swimming. Later tomorrow night is the big party itself (90+ guests) followed by a poolside brunch Sunday morning. Then the long drive home.

The girls will love it, seeing their aunts and Grandpa, all of whom they see all too infrequently. Me, I’ll hate it. Cuz I hate crowds of strangers and cocktail party chitchat. Have to find somewhere to hole up with a good book. Have to find a good book, first.

So, no posting until Monday.

Have a great weekend and check back soon!
