spent the morning with Bean and Owen. Owen is very adamant about not wanting to sleep in his crib. It took a very long time for him to settle down and get to sleep. I think I will be a little sleepy again today.

The last time I looked it appeared that only about 9 votes were needed to shoot down Alito. Of course there is still a lot of wrangling that will be taking place between now and 10:00.
