Blogger. Slacker. Compare. Contrast.

It has been pointed out to me that I have been remiss in my duties as blogmistress (ooh!). I am sorry for the negligence (which is different than being sorry for negligees, which I am not--interesting....do they have the same word origin???). My sincere apologies. (which reminds me of that old Romanovsky and Phillips (if you don't know their music--which you really should--you are a) young, b) straight) or possibly c) Canadian) song, "I'm A Wimp":

"...Took my shirt to the cleaners
In an hour they'd have it Martinized
I should have complained when they ruined it
But instead I apologized..."

And then there's the issue of veracity. Blech. Okay, they're right. This blog is WAY behind. Heck, it's about our preparations for GALA and we've already been to GALA and come back again (I know, it's shocking).

In the interest of catching you up and moving on from there (today, I saw a sign on a church sign in Somerville that said "Stop trying to create a better past" or something like that. That's kind of the idea here), I present two versions:

Short version: We prepared. We raised money (lots of it--thanks!). We rehearsed. We flew. We sang. We listened. We schmoozed. We laughed. We ate cheese. We fed exotic birds. We sweated. We had a blast. We came home.

Long version: Read on, read on. I now give you, through the beauty of blogging magic, the updates, both from my pen (so to speak) and from the masses as they pour into my inbox (hint hint). Check in over the next few days--there will be several new entries in that time.

And enjoy yourselves. We sure did.
