Today our fan plan went into action and early returns indicate that it was largely successful. The screaming children were much harder to hear this morning, meaning a longer period of sleeping in. Tomorrow, by a huge turn of luck, I believe the school is not in session. So we should be good until my parents get here. I’m looking forward to opening the windows and letting them hear just how bad it is. It’s really impressive how loud it gets. It can almost shake the window panes. Anyway, this is really sad and, given the state of things, really funny in an evil way. On the tax front, my federal return is in the bag. I need to quickly do the state return and jump on sara’s so we can get everything sent in on time. Hopefully an international postmark is sufficient. I need to call and make sure. Sightseeing starts Thursday and lasts until the end of the month. Tonight is Polly et Moi which didn’t get any good reviews, but will be better than listening to CSPAN tonight. We saw School of Rock a couple of days ago, which was great. It will be hard to follow that one up.
