It's a long Columbus Day weekend for this family of federal employees and we're not complaining. To my mind, the best thing to come from European imperialism is an extra day to hang out with Zoe and Owen (though, imagine what real estate prices would be like in Europe if America had never been colonized. I suppose that's another reason to be grateful for Columbus, despite the spread of smallpox, eradication of native americans, etc.).
Today was Takoma Park's street festival. Zoe and I had a lot of fun dancing to an AfroFunk band, and we all enjoyed eating funnel cake.
And B and I just saw "The Lives of Others" which won the Oscar for best foreign film last year. It was really good. My favorite fun fact; if the movie is to be believed, lying to the state carries a heavier penalty in the United States than it did in Eastern Europe. Chalk one up for the land of the free!
And, of course, Nebraska lost to Missouri. But, at least Bill Callahan has an extension on his contract. My theory; he's got naked pictures of Steve Pederson with someone else's wife.
Wow, this has been a surprisingly bitter and political post. We'll be back to more pictures of the kids soon.
