I mistyped -- not Conway's inauguration -- her de-inauguration. She was leaving and the new president was being inaugurated.

Collectively, we got all but Barth this week.
I love the idea of a de-inauguration!
Actually, readersguide got Barth, too.
ReplyDeleteKaren, you're right. ReadersGuide, I'm so sorry I didn't properly celebrate your victory!
ReplyDeleteThis is the result of typing in the answers before I've properly opened my eyes and had a cup of tea on a Monday morning. I knew I wasn't with it when I told the kids that they had a pretty good "chance of school" for tomorrow (I meant "snow").
Hooray hooray! (We have to celebrate, because it will almost certainly never be repeated.)
ReplyDeleteReadersguide, I will send you a prize appropriate for such a victory!
