I'm hunkering down through a rather vicious Washington thunderstorm right now. Lots of rain, wind and lightning.

This is your Friday night open thread. Make sure you give us your victory of the week in the comments. My victory of the week is that I'm finally heading on a vacation this weekend. The wife and I are meeting up with her sisters and I'm actually pretty excited about it, despite the fact that we're headed to Eastern Tennessee. Any AP readers in the Gatlinburg area? I may need to call on you.

What's your victory of the week?
