Figure I owe you guys an explanation.
Traditionally, my entire family gathers at the home of the "head" of the household for Easter week. Family reunion, that sort of thing. Until this year, it had been my grandmother who had that honor. Unfortunately, she passed away last year. My dad was supposed to do it for the first time this year, but the thought of it made him...well, he got emotional over it, to put it mildly. Brought up his mother (my grandmother) all over again. I've got a couple of uncles (dad's brothers, obviously), but they're in far-flung places and had no ability of hosting it. To make a long, drawn-out story short, I wound up hosting it. So I've had about 22 people in and out of my roughly 1200-square-foot house for about a week now. The last of them left for their home about an hour ago. Sorry folks, but I just haven't had the time to celebrate our recent league championship, let alone put together an all-star ballot.
Now that that's over, and after I get a chance to recover (my house looks like a tornado came over for tea), I'll get to work on the ballots.
