How to explain why dad lost his job and everyone is so upset? Goodwitch: The real issue for me is that he was a complete hypocrite about it, and that he hid it through money laundering. And Anthro-Man has not yet returned to being a man of steel, but he's getting there. Now I seem to be getting another cold :( Charlotte: I hope you are all on the mend too! I suppose it's a bit provincial to get coverage in Europe, but the blogosphere knows no boundaries. NQCP: Thanks. I guess some people never grow out of playing dress-up! (And why should we?)

We have been enjoying dressing up and/or going to reenactment events as family for awhile now. It's a great way to be geeky and fun at the same time. Great posts in this series.

And wishing health and beautiful spring weather for all of you. There's not much coverage of Eliot Spitzer here, but lots in the blogosphere of course. The Meis article seemed to be spot-on, but unfortunately for someone intent on hubris they take others with them. They don't march alone over that cliff. I feel for Spitzer's family.

For instance, I've followed the NY story very little this week, and I tho't, "ho hum, so he went to a prostitute. immoral, blah blah blah." It wasn't until yesterday that I actually remembered that prostitution is ILLEGAL in most of America. It's not here in NZ and that tho't had just slipped from my American memory! I hope Anthro-Man (that' his Superhero name! He flies into towns and turns all their plastic toys to wood!!) is feeling better soon. Now going to read those Historic Personals.....

Every sentence said volumes, and put this murky debacle in clear, black and white terms to see. (Still, the picture of his wife, standing beside him is what got me. To see the innocent so fraught with grief, caught in a trap of public humiliation was more than I could bear to watch.) Spring... I do hope. What a treasure Morgan Meis wrote about Spitzer.
