A long travel day yesterday (shuttle broke down twice en route to BWI, but that was the only glitch in the whole trip and I was headed out there plenty early). We landed on time at 9 pm, and Ken was waiting outside with the dogs in the car. I opened the VW trunk to put suitcase in and Josie came flying right through from the front seat and into my arms! A MOST satisfactory welcome indeed.
Jazzercise this am and unpacked the whole suitcase and all put away (this is kind of a big deal for me so I get a sticker that says "TERRIFIC!"). A lazy am otherwise, laundry and Ken is napping and this afternoon we are headed to the Harley rally in Flower Mound.
I'd hoped to have RevGal meet ups with Mibi Rev-to-be-Mibi (but didn't get back in touch with her, my bad) and Deb (Another Unfinished Symphony), but neither materialized. However, I did get to have a phone call with Deb, and she told me some VERY EXCITING news. I am so proud and happy for her! While I was outside the noisy hotel lobby, talking with her on the sidewalk, I found the most amazing and beautiful item hanging on a brass fire hydrant, and I put it on right away in her honor. Here is a picture of it from later that night (next to the coffee maker in my hotel):
It is a beautiful and REAL plumeria lei! I have no idea why it was there, but based on what she had told me, it seemed to be kind of a crazy God thing. It's her news to tell, so I'll let you wonder....check in with her and when she's ready to announce, you'll see what I mean. :)
The Washington Convention Center is quite new (2003) and has some fascinating art. I took some pix of an installation that really caught my fancy:
It's a rack of "pills" to help with all kinds of pesky things. There are "Believe in God" pills, "Rhythm Pills," pills to "Change your Eye Color," and "Intimacy Pills."
Here we have the ever popular "Understand Why She Left You," and "Clone Your Best Friend's Girlfriend," medications.
O, brave new world!
