Fun and big news

Robert and John gave the Seattle Library a thumbs up. And, they know libraries! I picked them up and brought them to Casa De SusanDennis and led them through the required oooohs and ahhhhhhs. Then it was off to lunch. Plan A had a 15 minute wait so I used them as guinea pigs for a place I wanted to try that was in the next block. Dim Sum that was pretty good. Glad to have it in the rotation. The place was full but we counted 4 Caucasians. We were 3 of them.

Then I took them to the rental car office and sent them off to Canada. It was such fun to have them here.

Home to see if I could get the damn internet connection back. Qwest is not all that equipped to deal with customers who simply buy the line from them and get their ISP services from someone else. So after waiting on hold for 20 minutes, they finally disconnected me. Called my ISP and was up and running in minutes. Whew. Then it was time to go to the dentist. I finished by setting up the wireless part of the deal when I got home. We're back in the saddle again.

The Dentist....

Turns out my remaining soreness was due to bite problems. He filed down some spots so that I'm not grinding the teeth that are sore. He looked at everything and declared victory. He said I had to finish off the bottle of the nasty wash but that he wouldn't make me get the refill (which is good because there is no way I was going to do that anyway). He said to use the Sonicare toothbrush at least twice a day for two minutes. And he gave me little brush things to clean between teeth if I wanted to in the afternoons. And then he said that he doesn't want to see me again for ...

FOUR MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah, I'm bringing out the dancing hamster for this one...

You bet John knows libraries. He's all over the Cambridge one.

Susan's condo looks just terrific. Sheri has done a great job. A few more things to go but it is tremendous. It certainly makes our places look a mess. And Jake and Betty are as advertised as are all the knitted bears. Just like we saw on the Internet.....

Thanks for being a tour guide and chauffeur.

Our rented car is a purple PT Cruiser.

That is a really fabulous library. I'll write more about it soon. There is a five story set of stacks with a ramp so there is a continuous walk from the 980's down to the 000's. Like the Guggenheim museum in NYC.Tiles on the floors show where you are. Lots of computers (not running MacOS of course) and places for people to use their own laptops with wireless and wired access.

A purple PT Cruiser??!!! I now have rental car envy! Did they welcome you into Canada with that baby?

I can't wait to hear the dets.

Now that you've met Robert and John and can see how safe and civilized they are, I think you should consider visiting them in their peaceful summer house in Gloucester. I know I'm taking liberties inviting you to their place, but I have reasonable confidence this is not a problem.

I know that you enjoy the comfort and coziness of staying put (particularly in your fabulous new digs), but the house in Gloucester has a big wraparound porch on which to laze about and staying there can be like staying at a nice b&b. The town of Gloucester can also be a nice place to walk around. Not as nice as Seattle, but different.

R&J tend to awaken a little later than I and even more so you do, but among my happiest reminiscences in being up early on a hot morning and sitting on that porch while the world comes to life. And no doubt your many Boston fans (hi FJ!!, hi pinkfish!) would drive on up.

Perhaps next summer.

Just a manipulative thought...

hmmmm it sounds very excellent. I'm so easy to manipulate!

Four months, Sweet!!

Boy do I know how you feel. I just had my last appointment, and am scheduled every 4 month for cleaning. I go too, because......... well you know.
