It's a circus with a purpose.

The circus? This weekend's poker party back at the old homestead.
The purpose? To remind ourselves we aren't old bastards yet.

We're dropping off the radar for the next several days to remember where it all started. With any luck, we won't need to sell plasma for bail money over the weekend or return with "it only took nine stitches to close" stories. We'll return to our irregularly scheduled programming sometime next week.

Pray for us.
