Ooooohh, me likee! (Mine are Tony Lama’s, black.) **Mooommmm** , I vote for Bowie. It’s less outtaway than Anna-polis & it’s further home than Fredburg. Good place to stretch the legs. ---

Well, since you’re the instigator of this gathering, I say your vote wins! Plus when you leave Bowie, you can go up the BWParkway instead of going all the way over to I-95 and you can pick up I-95 just south of Baltimore at the Ft. McHenry tunnel! According to Google Maps, Norfolk to Bowie is about 3 anna half hours. If you leave by 2, that gets you there around 5:30. If we get a count, I’ll make a reservation for 5:30, and if you run a little later, we’ll just start without you! How does that sound to all and sundry?? Daughter is here. Sammiches shall ensue shortly. ---

I know where Rips is, my son’s paternal grandparents live in Bowie. Depends on the time, I should be back home by 8 but I can probably stretch it a little. Piddle pup has a weak bladder. If nothing else I can stop in for a little bit. It would be fun. And I can check out **Spidey’s** boots. 😃 ---

Too many of my friends have cars. Seriously, you don’t need a car if you live in Montreal. Maybe I’m just jealous, because I’m trying to get my license without having access to a car. :mad: ---

You have to have a car where I live, very little public transportation around here. ---

I’d be jealous if it weren’t for the fact I don’t want to live where there’s ice and snow. 😛 Howdy Y’all! I sat through five hours of a webcast today and learned the following: Want me to repeat that? ---

Started to post this morning and got distracted, apparently. (It was trash/recycling day and I was in a rush.) We had a picturesque dusting of snow this morning, but are supposed to get more over the next 2 days. Still only 1-3 inches, allegedly. Yes! You should definitely partcipate in the Valentine exchange, **SO**. (I could tell you that Midget is participating, but I think I’m sworn to secrecy. Except for the part where she posted in the thread already. What?) Long, long, long day again at work. Got quite a bit done, but it was tiring. I’m very close to having made up for the day I took off last week. Arghh. Well, I should go do something. Maybe throw something in the washer…and then knit or read. Hugs all.
