Cheese curds look delish!

Sorry you were grumpy today, I'm guessing the Baltimore incident is possibley catching up with you

Nosy question - you mention heading into London to work but also that you home school Pooter - how do you manage to do both, you are truly a Superwoman! The thought of home schooling my twins does not appeal!

I do 90% of my work at home, I only have to go up to London for meetings and conferences (Praise the Lord! I can't imagine doing that commute every day...).

My DH works long, LONG hours - so I typically do a couple of hours of work in the morning (while DH and Poot have breakfast and get ready for the day) and then a few more hours after Poot goes to bed (and before DH gets home).

Now that Poot is 9, he spends a couple hours each day in silent work and reading, so I can sometimes sneak in a bit of work then, too.

I didn't INTEND to homeschool him, but our schedule means that it's the only way for us. And it's been great, I know him so much better than I would otherwise. Aw...

I have been to the National History museum but it must be 30 years ago (OMG), I remember the flag being hung on the wall, and it looked spectacular, I don't understand why it would be flat. It doesn't have half the impact.
I also vividly remember a large M*A*S*H exhibit (it was my favourite program at the time), I wonder if they still have any M*A*S*H stuff on display.

It's not completely flat, just REALLY reclining...

When we saw it in 2002 it was still hanging - I assume the weight of the flag meant it was slowly tearing (itself) apart...

Oh, M*A*S*H! I remember SO vividly going to a "M*A*S*H finale party" back in the '80s. People who have grown up with cable and satellite telly have NO IDEA how big a show could be back then (when there were only four or five channels).

I didn't see any M*A*S*H bits at the museum; most of the exhibits (first ladies' dresses and presidential memorabilia notwithstanding) seemed to have changed. Hence Elmo () rather than Kermit!

That's so lovely. I thought afterwards that was a terribly intrusive question to ask, so thank you for explaining. Still the thought of home schooling fills me with horror!

Lol! You might surprise yourself...

Seriously though, it has made us a very close little family.

I was HORRIFIED - it was worse than any TSA/Immigration experience I've ever had. I HATE that this is the "new normal" for our kids.

This was a down day - thanks for sticking with us.
