Ginny, I was quite distraught when the gas company knocked on my door and told me I was chosen for some kind of testing wherein they would dig up a portion of the gas line. I had only two years earlier planted my butterfly garden.

Didn't they have to repair any damage they did?

NO DAMAGE VIBES FOR DR GINNY!!!

All they were required to do was fill in the trench with dirt. I was very lucky. They found a spot in the alley where the fence was moved up a few feet to make room for the gate where they were able to dig. But if that line ever has to be replaced ...

So, the burglary story is getting more bizarre. There's another John Griffin here at the office whose house was burglarized last Thursday with the same mode of entry: door kicked in. In his case, they rifled through things looking for something in particular but didn't take anything.

I have to go to the police to tell them about this.

*When I arrived at the Amtrak station here, I called my mom...

-You're Dad is out right now taking someone to the airport, he should be on his way home now. Call him.

So... I called him.

-There flight is delayed. I'm still with them. It will be about an hour. Ask your mom to come pick you up.

So... I called my mom again, and told her it would be an hour before my dad could come and get me.

-It's just an hour. Wait.
I can just take a cab.
-Why can't you wait?
Because it will be an hour. Don't worry about it, I can pay for a cab.
-Why would you do that when your dad will be there soon.
Not "soon". In an hour. Don't worry, I'll see you soon.

*The train station is only 10 minutes away from my parents house. It was a relatively cheap cab ride. ;)

Are there other John Griffins in town who should be put under observatiom?

I am back from trips to the barber, the Little Pie Company, and the NYPL. The laundry is now in the washers and it's time to vacuum and mop the floors.

Thanks, DR John G - It really was kind of a strangely surreal evening. I noticed him come in to the restaurant - and I've seen him there before. Then I heard him singing - well, trying to sing "Two for the Road", and then... Well... ::)

That's why I want to go to the police. Hopefully they can just run a computer search to see if this has happened to the handful of others in town.

Friday morning greetings!  We have 2 days of festivities ahead of us to celebrate dear niece/goddaughter Lauren's graduation from Miami University.  Today's the ceremony and tomorrow's the party.  This is the young woman whose father (Richard's older brother) died 2 years ago.  She had every reason to spin out of control, but she dug in and today follows in his footsteps (and her uncles' and her grandmother's) across the stage at Millett Hall.  I am so proud of her!

That's wonderful, Ginny!  Congrats to DN/GD Lauren!!

Hope you enjoyed them. I'll post some Basket Project pictures later. We are heading out to the Credit Union and then to a museum and to visit a friend.

Laters!

Those were great pictures, Ben!  Thanks for sharing. :D
