At one point the waiter leaned in behind me to ask how things were and I jumped a mile!
Soph, I'm about to post. Just wanted to let you know so you won't be startled.
Heck, MGF, I wish I was fishing with ya. Hang in there--those lumps in the next room may not be fun, but they're giving you a lot to think about. By the way, I haven't read the new one, but thought Devil in the White City was a fantastic book. I bought it for the killer part, but ended up enjoying it most for the Burnham chapters. Was really cool to go to Chicago after that and check out some of his buildings.
Had the kiddie b-day party yesterday; cake, a jumpy house, and lots of fun. Woke up to a drizzly morning, but won't stop us from swimming at the Y's indoor pool.
You guys sound great. Hope you all enjoy the day!
