This is the home stretch, people. Memorial Day Weekend is just a few days away (even closer if you’re taking Friday off, too). June in D.C. is always delightful. When June turns into August, it’s not quite so pleasant, but let’s not think about that yet.

While you’re daydreaming about your summer plans, (you have made them already, right? Summer airfares are rising, FYI) consider Montenegro’s recent vote to bail itself out of the union with Serbia. That’s true biz the end of Yugoslavia, readers.

Or you could consider DeafDC.com’s articles from this past week, too. We kicked off DPHH After Five at Poste in Gallery Place last Thursday and it was a blast. We’re definitely going to do this event again next month!

Gallaudet remained a dominant topic for DeafDC.com visitors as Julie brought up the now-apparent splits in the deaf community and the racial conflicts surrounding the presidential selection process. The blogpower team of Chris and Allison Kaftan discussed Dr. Fernandes’s attitude towards her constituents and the media’s declaration that the protest was over. Also, two memos from Gallaudet were released; one from the Board of Trustees declaring no reprisals, and one from Dr. Jordan on the search for an interim provost.
DeafDC.com welcomed a new blogger, Swetha Amruthur, and pushed the hot-button issues of cochlear implants, privacy, and English as our national language. Remember, you read it here first!
