Well friends I'm off to bed. I'll be outing 12 hours from now.

Confession: I'm nervous as hell. I don't know what to expect, I don't know how to read the event as it transpires. All I know is that I'm doing my level best tomorrow -- and every day thereafter -- to pick up NO ropes, to listen and validate (and to smile and wave), to not initiate any R talks and to do my level best to redirect any WAW initiates. My gut tells me she's going to want to crow about the house she bid on today. Okay, let her. I'll smile and wave.

Good thing I only bought a half-bottle of Cabernet.

Wish me luck, sports fans. I'm sure I'll have much to say on the flip-side.
