Well, I'm sort-of back;

Getting home has me kind of washed-out; that much time in a bed/hospital room takes it out of you.  I need to mow, among other things, but that's going to be done as can.  Last thing I want is to call family and say "Ah, I may have overdone things, help."

So I will, as can, be back to bitching about appropriate things.  Which will, if they mess it up, include raising hell with/at the congresscritters if they lose the SHORT and HPA from the budget deal.
