We made it back safely, with EnergyChannel's head still intact. Managed to hit one bbq and see a gaggle of friends, say goodbye to obelisk, and be asleep by midnight.

Oh long weekend, why do you have to end?

Driving to Seattle to return the boy today. I wonder how bad the traffic will be since it is actually Memorial Day? I mean, the idiots are out in force enough when it isn't a holiday weekend. This time, I may actually get to witness EnergyChannel's head explode from frustration.
