Weekend Update

How was your weekend?  We were cheered by news of soon-arriving Nats bullpen help, got in plenty of pool time, went to a chill & pleasant cookout yesterday, and found a beloved watch lost for over a decade in the pocket of some pants we hadn't worn in... well, over a decade.  Also, we put together today's set as well as previously noted opportunities closing this week.
