It's Bacchan'Ale time! I'm off to the pub downtown to meet and greet our out-of-town guests as they arrive in Portland. When Mom comes (hooray!) I'll drive with her down to the Ale site in Salem for a wonderful week of dancing. It's going to be tons of fun, but I'll be glad when it's over. I've been stressed and sleep-deprived for the last week (or two, or three) with all of the Ale-planning going on. I'm taking Monday off of work to recuperate and post pictures. :) Hooray!
