Did everyone have a splendid weekend befitting Ireland’s emerald hills and their people’s sunny disposition? As we’re nursing our wounds from Friday’s night one-too-many-pints-of-green-beer escapades, here’s a quick roundup of what went down on DeafDC.com last week.

David Evans commemorated DPN’s 18th anniversary by recounting his own experience during that inauspicious week of March 1988. It is this writer’s opinion that that blog is required reading for every deaf person. Read it.

Then the news of Tara McAvoy’s death quickly spread throughout the deaf blogosphere. DeafDC.com partook in this debate, with Adam pointing out that it’s almost impossible to feel an oncoming train’s vibrations well in advance, and Allison decrying other bloggers’ efforts to, as Joseph Rainmound put it, “turning the poor girl into the Deaf version of Terri Schiavo.”

Julie and Erin wrote about perceptions and impressions respectively. Don’t call the office, said Rob, don’t smoke in Calabasas, said Erin, and beware “Deal or No Deal!” said Adam.

Very good, readers. Did you also happen to catch last Friday’s e-mail about DPHH March photos, plus DPHH April’s location? No? Be sure to sign up for our e-mail list via the front page (look under the section navigation buttons).

Have a good week, people!
