Finished up Friday by driving to Baltimore for a weekend of Fun, Laughter, and Singing Harmony (A/K/A FLASH) with my chorus. Rode up with Cathy Kyle – a most agreeable traveling companion. We checked into the Hunt Valley Inn for the conference, and met up with our other two roommates – Betty Matthews and Gianna Miller. It was a great weekend, featuring choruses and quartets from Sweet Adelines International Region 19. Among the weekend’s highlights – I won first prize in the chorus history book contest!
No progress in the non-negotiations on Capitol Hill, however. If anything, they moved backwards, with the House adjourning after Congressman Van Hollen‘s discharge petition – which would have brought the continuing resolution to the House for a vote – was ruled out of order (because not offered by the Majority Leader, under a recently modified House rule!). So it looks like you have a few more days of this blog to look forward to.
