Politics & The Supreme Court: These past few days have not actually been busy, per se, just been keeping a low profile on the blogging front. Wondering why? The Samuel Alito confirmation hearings are on, and in an effort to educate myself about some of the doctrines that influence this country's supreme law, I've been … Continue reading Wednesday Recap
Andy (from towleroad) has been holidaying (vacationing) in Key West. It looks like they painted the Southern Most Point marker after the recent storms that hit that area. He ate a place called Pepe's, which at first I thought was one of the required stops every time we visit Key West (formerly El Maison de Pepe), … Continue reading Key West

Friday morning I was nice. I had to let it happen at least once on this trip, so I figured I would shower Chris and Layton with a room-service style breakfast. Actually it was Dolores's idea (unknowingly), as she asked me if I wanted to take something back to the room with me, and promptly … Continue reading NOLA Update Deux
