I have discovered that my Hay Fever makes doing yardwork very difficult. Hooray.

Greeting from Buffalo! My flight from Baltimore-Washington International Airport went without a hitch. The plane even arrived 10 minutes early!

VERY thankful I'm not suffering from allergies today in this heat. The humidity is something else. I guess it's been humid all week, but at the lower temperatures it was no problem. This, we're not used to.

While looking through the entertainment section of the Buffalo News, I saw that George Dvorsky and Jan Horvath are appearing tonight with the Buffalo Philharmonic. My brother and sister-in-law and I are going. I saw George in The Scarlet Pimpernel and with Brent B. as one of the Broadway Tenors. I think he's a great singer. I'm not familiar with Jan, but I'm sure she'll be great too!

Thanks for the travel vibes.

BK - I'll see you tomorrow. Not sure if I'll have HHW access while away.

And more travel vibes.

That sounds like fun.

Summer has hit with a vengeance here. Time to leave the country for a while, I guess.

I just finished the paper. At least enough of it that I can take the rest of the day off, read through it tomorrow or Monday and hopefully file by Tuesday.

No rest for the weary. The new semester started this past Monday. But my textbooks for one haven't arrived and my other one won't really start until I get the current class over and done with.

Today is supposed to be the last warm and sunny day of the weekend. They expect it to cloud up this evening, and by Monday it will be raining. That is pretty typical for the Northwest. May and June are usually crrap; and September is our warmest month of the year.

TOD-subtitles. I can't remember the first movies I saw with them. My favorite subtitle story was when I went to LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL with my book club. When we left the movie theater one woman said "Wasn't that amazing, after about the first half of the movie they were speaking in English". I couldn't convince her that she had just gotten used to the subtitles.

Vibes for DR vixmom. Not sure if i missed a post about why you have to py $2100 if it is not your car and you were not a passenger or a driver. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She followed that with a comment about being the "sandwich generation" so I'm guessing a parent did the damage.

DR Jane re: Lisa Gardner's "The Survivors Club, why don't you just take the book out of the library as a hardcover or paperback. How can there be 34 people waiting for the ebook? Must be a lot of libraries put together.

I think that may be the only Lisa Gardner book that i did not read (if it is a single). I prefer her series. Although i will definitely read it at some point. I just can't keep up with the authors i currently read.

I'm trying to avoid all hand held books. I just wanted to read the ones I already own.

Danise, I'm pleased you are so happy with your new pillow. I am very picky with my pillows. I've been using an eggcrate cervical pillow for many years, which has served me very well but is now wearing out. I've never tried the side-sleeper pillows; maybe I will.

I'm thinking of getting an eggcrate cover for my mattress, or a new mattress

DR Danise, congrats on finding the perfect pillow!

Back from some eggs and bacon and toast, oh, my and half a waffle. Picked up two packages, one of which was the VERY errant and truant one from the UK - totally not as described and I'm sending it back - I'd already received the refund from the ABE so I've written the seller to say that it arrived and is on its way back to him.

I have taped enough orchestra parts today, and I think I will head home, pondering dinner and other things.

DR Vixmom we a no longer the sandwich generation, we are the boomerang generation. Soon we will be back to just the two of us.

Watched the weather channel for a few minutes and found much of the country in much more dire heat than we are in this little corner of the world, so WEATHER VIBES to ya'all.

I guess I shouldn't complain about our chilly temps. It should be warming up tomorrow.

Thinking about a Margarita.

We are back after a nice day of sightseeing on the trolleys. We just rode and listened to the narration and didn't get off to walk around at any of the stops. It was too hot & crowded and my feet are pretty shot by now. It was nice just to ride around and enjoy the breezes and the scenery. When the northern loop returned to the welcome center, we went across the street for some lunch and then took the loop around the National Mall and saw the memorials, Capitol, White House, etc. Again, just riding was fine. We got off near the White House and walked back to the hotel, picking up sandwiches for dinner later. We're in for the evening, I think.

Do you head for home tomorrow?

Ginny · « **Reply #113 on:** May 26, 2012, 02:55:23 PM »

No, Jane, we're here 'til late Monday afternoon. Tomorrow we're going to a nearby church in the morning. In the evening we're going to the Folger Shakespeare Library to see THE TAMING OF THE SHREW. In between, we'll probably come back here and watch the Indianapolis 500. Not sure what we'll do Monday - a lot of places will be closed for the holiday, I'm afraid.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #114 on:** May 26, 2012, 03:00:09 PM »

And I am home. I accomplished a lot today and I need to think about dinner. Seriously.

Ginny · « **Reply #115 on:** May 26, 2012, 03:01:13 PM »

Although, I'm looking at the Smithsonian and National Gallery of Art websites and it appears they're open Monday...

A spot of good news. It seems I paid too much tax last year and have received a refund.

I like walking along the embassy's and through Georgetown.

I will only say that due to screen glare the first "t" of your message looked like an "r" and gave an entirely different meaning to your post.
