Apologies...
...for the lousy posts lately. Work has been exhausting, the home renovations have entered another disruptive phase (well, correction -- the disruptive phase should be over by Sunday, at which point ideofact will slowly begin the process of moving into its newly refurbished global headquarters, complete with all the modern amenities), and on top of it all, we had to do our taxes. More involved blogging should resume next week.
For those interested, the Washington Post had a nice story about the Decatur House today.

Good luck with the restorations/renovations to Stately Ideofact Manor!
