Off like a prom dress

I'm heading back east tonight for a delightful week of fun in the sun in scenic Ohio. Yeah, I know. I'm lucky. This year, I'm dragging J.R. with me just so he knows I can't make this shit up. Seriously, I'm ridiculously excited about seeing my family. (Leslie! Dad! Heather! Dawn and the new puppy! Yes, Mom, you too, of course.) I promise to blog all about the chili 5-way, as usual, and if things go my way, I'll get to go to Ladies Night with the Cincinnati Reds -- even though they f-ing traded Griffey. I really do hate trades.
