DR JKM, I'm very sorry, and my deepest condolences on the loss of your friend.

[Jane]

Jane - I sent you the excerpt form the book for December 7.

Looks like most days can be found by googling "secret language of birthdays" "insert month and day in quotes"

as in

"secret language of birthdays" "may 2"

Thank you.  I actually thought that was from a different source & skipped it. It is very interesting.

[FJL]

Jane - When i first discovered that, i started looking up everyone in my family.  I was surprised by some of it, especially mine, but now I can say my faults are pre-determined so not my fault - LOL!

[Jane]

Almost everything my mother cooked, she cooked better than anyone else.
Sheppard’s Pie
Wild Rice
Prime rib & Yorkshire pudding
Danish apple pie
Sour Cream cheesecake, long before you could get a good cheesecake anywhere
Spaghetti meat sauce
Luckshen kugel

Anyone want this list of DVDs before I take them in for trade later?

YES!

[DearReaderLaura]

JMK, I'm so sorry to hear about your friend.

If you don't sign in for individual activities will you loose your tax deductions for the trip?

This must be very disappointing for your.....FEEL BETTER SOON!  I hope you don't have that horrid summer cold MBarnum & I both had.  Obviously it is traveling through the country.

I did sign in last night and went to 4 hours of the meetings. I think that would probably suffice for tax purposes.

MBarnum had it, Jane had it, and now Cillalzi has it!  Hmmm, could it be a computer virus?

[Cillaliz]

Thanks DRs George and Jane.  

I was feeling better this afternoon and decided that I wanted to go for a drive and take a test run back to the airport.  I got to where you turn to Memorial Bridge and said "Heck with it I want to see the WWII Memorial"  I turned, crossed the bridge, drove to the parking area nearest the monument, found a space right away and visited.  I found it beautiful and very moving.  I grew up knowing many WWII vets including many of my parents' closest friends and my uncle.  While many of them didn't want to talk about it, they did have an intense patriotism and a sense of what they fought for and won.   It was quite emotional for me to think of them in that beautiful setting.

[JMK]

I have a list of DVDs, too, if anyone's interested.  I'll actually post mine :

Speed Racer
Will & Grace 8

The geriatric psychiatrist who delivered a baby in a Texas shelter said delivering a baby is like riding a bike, you never forget how to do it.  He also had a nurse helping him.  Mother & baby are fine.

[Cillaliz]

I was going to go see Lincoln, but some guy had a microphone and a speaker and was spewing hate for Palin so loud I could hear it from WWII.  I decided that it would be impossible to have a quiet reflective moment with Abe if that was going on there.  There wasn't really a crowd listening to the guy.  I thought it was kind of amusing he was attacking a Republican in front of Lincoln, who was also a Republican.

[Cillaliz]

I did go pay a visit to Thomas Jefferson.  He fascinates me the most of the founding fathers, for all sorts of reasons.  I was starting to not feel so hot by the time I got there, so it was nice to sit in the lower level and watch the movie, go to the book shop, etc.

[DearReaderLaura]

This morning I went for a walk, and this is what I saw:

[Jane]

DR Cilla, I'm so glad you made it to the beautiful WWII Memorial.

Do you have nose drops, or something, to keep your ears from plugging up during the flight?

[DearReaderLaura]

For those of you who order things off the internet, here is the Amazon warehouse where many of your orders are filled:

[Cillaliz]

I drove back to the hotel, once again without any problems - I love driving on the George Washington Parkway - it's so beautiful.  Anyway, I was going to go to a restaurant I've been interested in going to, but I realized when I got close to the hotel that I needed to get back to the room - well the facilities in the room - as soon as possible.  So, I'm staying in tonight. I ordered room service so we'll see how that goes.  

[Jane]

I find people annoying, and to be so loud at any of the memorials is just outright rude.

[Cillaliz]

The Claritin seems to have helped that problem.  The problem that remains is more of a digestive nature.

Right now I am taking a break from what is probably one of the most tension filled Bollywood movies I have yet to see, AMIR (2008) about a young Muslim doctor in Mumbai whose family is kidnapped by extremists who. Unless the young man helps them pull off an act of terrorism in the city center, they will kill his family.

It is quite chilling. No songs, and it is the lead actor's debut on the big screen (he is a tv actor, normally).

Does the tension involve whether or not he takes his shirt off?

[Cillaliz]

I find people annoying, and to be so loud at any of the memorials is just outright rude.

My feeling exactly.  I understand free speech and am all in favor of it, but I also think that there are a lot of people who may only get one chance to go see some of these places and it's really uncalled for to ruin their experience.  Now if this was a scheduled event, that happens, but if it was, he didn't have much of a crowd.

[TCB]

And besides, you wouldn't want to miss hearing/seeing this rousing version of THE WORDS GET STUCK IN MY THROAT.

What key is that!!!

That was a terryifying clip (And I don't mean the monster)!

[MBarnum]

No songs? I might actually like it then. It's the bollywood musical numbers that drive me mad.

And gosh knows it is a short drive.

And for someone who loves musicals, I still think it is so bizarre that you feel that way.

[MBarnum]

I am so sorry about your friends passing, JMK.

[Jane]

Dave in the Valley, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

And if you are lurking, I hope you & cute Petey, the lab mix, had a nice day.

[TCB]

How long does it take to go to Princeton?  

Usually four years.

[Cillaliz]

I did buy an interesting book I hadn't heard of before, it's called "Jefferson's 'Bible' The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth"  Apparently, Jefferson was interested in the moral teachings of Jesus so he cut the bible up and put it together in a different way.  I'm not usually one to buy religioius books, but all things Jefferson tend to fascinate me and I didn't know he had written this. Apparently his book was given to Senators when they were sworn into office from 1904 until not too long ago.

[Cillaliz]

JMK - Sorry about your friend
