I still hope to post more snapshots of England, but for now, a snapshot of home life...

Sisters. If you add up everything we've faced today, the equation will include Beltway traffic, a seemingly impossible job, a college research paper, and a broken dishwasher. But now at least some of us are home for the evening, and laughing. Somebody starts the dishes and somebody else turns on a Chieftains CD. Loud. And really, the best way to end a day like this is to do a chicken dance all together around the kitchen, to the music of Irish fiddles and drums. The phone rings and someone answers it while the rest of us prance around nearby, whooping. There wasn't anything like this in England.
