Is it possible to remove, if not move, the screens? How would you change the
screening? Can't the bugs get around the storm windows anyway?

IHB me mum is here!! We are having a grand time at the Smithsonian Folklife
Festival and have quality time in and around the Scotland area. We have seen
Alasdair Fraser play 5 times, an amazing Shetland band called Fiddler's Bid
5 times, Dr. Ed MIller, Sheena Wellington, and lots of speaking from Fiona
Ritchie, host of "Thistle and Shamrock". I'm getting lots of freckles and
having fun.

IHB the UIC gym (which I joined for a month starting today) has ellipticals,
as well as a pool. However, the pool has funny rules. You aren't allowed
in without a swim cap and you aren't allowed to wear goggles. i don't get
it.

Re: #54 - they've had accidents due to "goggle-vision" and they got sick
of cleaning hair out of things.

So now they're going to have accidents because people are blinking irregularly
or closing their eyes to avoid losing their contacts. Great solution. ;)
My youngest sister unexpectedly came home late tonight, for her one free day
between the camp weeks she works. The "middle" sister is already scheduled
to arrive home Saturday evening, so we have the whole family together. It
is not a common occurrance this summer. Tracy's available to visit, too.

Our son is home for a week, from school, out east.
This means some heated political debates, French toast
breakfasts, my computer's preferences morphing into
non-preferences, gallons of pulp-free orange juice
being purchased, some amazed moments when I have no
idea what he and John are talking about, dinners at
Shalimar, and my total amazement at how life moves
along.
My advice to myself is - hold on, loosely. ;-)

I'm (in the long run) Happy Because my wisdom teeth are finally out.
I was still so sedated after I got home that I watched the entirety of the
Truman Show and don't remember any of it. So I guess I'm also happy that I
get two movies' worth of entertainment for the price of one -- I'll be
watching it again this afternoon.

My son and I spent the day at Lake Michigan. We were taking quite a
chance, as wunderground.com was predicting rain and storms all day.
However, we lucked out. We got some light sprinkles, but no storms,
and we had a fabulous time.

IHB I had a fabulous week with the boy, and the weather has cooled
down a bit. I return to K-Zoo tomorrow. I can't believe I've been
away for a month. :-P

IHB the shelves appear to have come out nicely (or nicely
enough to not require another pass). Up they go at the
next opportunity.

I'm extremely happy because after being in Bulgaria for a week, I finally
figured out that I could buy an internet card and connect from my hotel
room for a very reasonable rate (40 plus hours for about $10). I've been
doing email with my cell phone modem at $1.50/minute for only 9.6K, which is
painfully slow when you know how much it's costing you to download spam.
I'm also happy because I'm doing the best singing of my life, and people
here are effusive in their praise.
On the downside, I'm a little tired of Bulgarian restaurant food.

The Bulgarians have excellent white sheep's cheese, all sorts of fruit juices,
and good bread. Maybe the tomatoes are ripe there now. Why eat in
restaurants?

I got the nicest, loving letter today. I still can't believe I've finally
found someone who treats me so well.

OFGS.
Mom has left the area, after an incredibly successful trip here. We didnt'
kill each other, and when things got a bit tense, we would just start
laughing. Mary, you're right - hanging on loosely is the only way to travel.

IHB weekend at home went reasonably well and I got to see my puppy. He's
getting old, poor guy, but he was *so* happy to see me! Also, just three
more days before I get my boy for the weekend. I thought I'd more or less
adjusted to long-distance once-a-month situation, but the past month has
been especially hard to take.

My jaw was hurting like nobody's business this morning. Dr. Fear's office
told me to just come right in, and they saw me almost right away. Sure
enough, it was dry socket ("it was dry sockets"? "they were dry sockets"?
"them sockets were dry"?), but he applied some sort of magical poultice to
my gums and I feel almost normal again. IHB this all took less than an hour,
and was pretty easy and painless.

IHB the first day of my summer class went well, and I really like my teacher.
We're the same age. :-P

I'll be off GRex for about a week - about to go to Kongsberg to work the
Jazzfestival there!
