The Supreme Court Nomination Hearings for Judge Gorsuch - Guest Post by the Hubby



At my office, I’ve been streaming the confirmation hearings of Judge Neil Gorsuch.  Well, I HAVE taken some breaks to listen to “More Life” – an album that achieves the apotheosis of my 16 year old self: the beach level of Mario Kart music with hip hop lyrics… seriously, listen to Passionfruit and Ice Melts and tell me that stuff isn’t straight lifted from a MIDI file.  BUT OTHERWISE I’ve had all hearings all the time streaming through my desktop.  As I still fancy myself a bit of a constitutional scholar, I find this stuff pretty interesting.  And as luck would have it, the bat signal was lit yesterday inquiring into my point of view on this process. (ONE request!!!)   And as I’ve never passed up an opportunity to share an opinion before, I thought I better not start now.

This is what one year looks like




It's birthday week at our house, and we are celebrating Eleanor Elizabeth's first trip around that still-too-far-away-for-my-taste sun! Thinking back on this year, I think one of the things that surprises me most is that Elle was induced.  Since everything else she has ever done has been early, fast and ahead of schedule, I'm sort of shocked she didn't arrive a few weeks early, armed with a toothbrush and some extra diapers asking for directions to her new bedroom.
