Selling Sno-Cones at the Beach

some vacation

Not to whine - no, I'm telling these stories to AMUSE, ok?

1. We caught the cold of the guy two rows ahead of us on the Mpls-Chicago flight who didn't cover his mouth while coughing or sneezing, and we have been sick for the last two weeks. Some days better, other days worse. You never know how it's going to be.

2. Average temperature in New England over the last 16 days: 55 degrees. Do the math: for every 70 there was a 40.

3. Precip in New England over the last 16 days: yes. And lots of it. All days but two, in fact.

4. Cost of fixing the rental car that B's mother ran into with her electric wheelchair: $380. Cash, no checks.

5. Cost of the car we rented while the rental car was being fixed: $180.

6. Number of days B's uncle has outlasted the medical profession's prediction of his passing: 9. And counting.

7. Number of boxes of tissues we have used up on this cold: 6. And counting.

8. Temp in Mpls when we touched down mid-afternoon: 85 F.

9. Number of minutes it took to graduate less than 80 people from the Boston Architectural Center: 150.

End-of-semester break in New England: Priceless.

I had lots of interesting things to blog about while I had no Internet, but now, naturally, I can't remember them. Oh well - maybe they'll come back. I will, anyway.
