The thing I like about long weekends is I can do at a leisurely pace all the chores that had piled up and still have enough rest. Saturday I babysat Jeanne while Michelle was out shopping. When Michelle got back, Jeanne gave away candies to trick or treaters. Sunday I washed some dirty clothes but it was generally a rest day. We got started watching Fringe and I made pizza for lunch and baked macaroni for dinner. Monday I swam, washed some more dirty clothes, ironed the dry ones, mopped the floor, and washed the plates (one long weekend worth :D). We even had time to go to some get together with some of Michelle’s distant relatives and drop off the Suunto Observer at the shop for repairs. And there’s another long weekend coming. Awesome!

The Supreme Court absolving one of their own from a case of plagiarism. And even saw it fit to censure critics. Congress censuring a government official, no less, for a possibly imaginary insult of one of their own. The president is said to be standing by the government official. But then maybe he’s simply standing by for one of his own as he did before for another who in some places would have resigned, if not committed seppuko, already. The tops of the three branches of the government have shown their propriety or rather lack of it. It sure is a dismal state of affairs.
