Phew...

Well, back into the fire this week, that's for sure. Friday night, and I'm finally home after three visits to the Infernal City (Augusta, our state capital) for inaugural festivities and a really long meeting this afternoon. It was interesting, my second time attending the inaugural ceremony (the first being Angus King's in 1994); but the first time attending the ball! Colette came along to both - and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Tomorrow is the Merritt family Christmas - it's actually taken this long to get Jeff, Becky, Kate, Scott, and my mom all in the same place at the same time!

Both families had TV appearances this week - me, at the inauguration, and les Bilodeaux on French TV for a story about a French language school her niece and nephew attend in Freeport. Hopefully the links still work!
