Baltimore Md Days Inn

Today Michael and I had quite a full day.

We're staying in Hampton Inn - F-A-B-ulous. They had a hot breakfast bar with more to eat than we could imagine. AND to-go breakfast bags in you're in a hurry. How great.

We had a show this morning. It was a difficult set-up that called on all our smarts. It was nice to have a challenge as we've been getting comfrtable in easy set ups. We had one trip up when ...

We had a good trip to Baltimore, The pilotage was 10 hours long and we had three different pilots for separate parts of the pilotage. The weather was so gorgeous that as we went up the narrowest part of the channel through the canal where you could almost touch both sides, I donned my pink boiler-suit and went to stand on the bow with the Bosun, Roger, who was on look-out for little boats. I spent about an hour up there, it was very ...

... the performances themselves were excellent. Silks, trapeze, lyra...all the apparatus (apparati?) that we use to fly. Highlights included an operatic silks performance in which the performer sang while suspending herself midair, a lyra performance to "diamonds are a girl's best friend" that featured the performer hanging upside-down by her sparkly red platform shoes, and a high-energy trapeze piece by the costumed "flying hate monkey" to the music "ding dong the witch ...

... on the Toronto Blue Jays and beat them by a home run in the 12th inning. Yes, we stayed for the whole game as it was a beautiful evening and after all these years, I've learned you simply cannot leave a game when the score is tied! In the event you are wondering if I stuck to tradition - I did eat an Italian Sausage complete with peppers and onions! It was delicious and worth breaking ...

This morning I entered the Washington-Dulles Airport to get our flight to Los Angeles. There realy isn't much to say as our teacher-leaders took care of any troubles that were encountered.
So I said goodbye to my family and headed into the dreaded security checkpoint. I hate security, the cops scare me. I ended up being caught and had to be checked. It was found that I was carrying ...

... seems to be filled with old people and businessmen. We are flying Airtran Airlines, this should be fun. When I took off from Philadelphia when I went to Spain and Portugal, I remembered freaking out when we took off. We'll see how this goes... 9:16 am I'm on the airplane and in the air right now! Takeoff was much better ...

... that Anime Tune" panel. The panelist didn't show up but someone donated their Ipod which was full of anime songs. A lot of people stayed and I though the panel was fun Then we went to go eat at the food court, which is the Otakon cafeteria during this weekend. We basically take over that place, even though the food is kinda ****** and overpriced. There are very few places in Innner Harbor were you can get a good meal at a reasonable price. It's the ...

So the cruise was over and we headed back to my home away from home- Maryland. Or to be exact- Leisure World. For those of you who aren't familiar with Leisure World, I will explain. Leisure world is a gated community for seniors where both my "sets" of grandparents live. Its a really nice place, but everyone there is.. Well, seniors! Once I arrived I enjoyed some relaxing time. It was the ...

... t remember what was said; it was as if the words were stored around him, but not inside. The only way he could imagine describing it would be as this one time with this one person on this one night. She got up and looked at him while he lingered for another three seconds staring at the empty chair. She had undone her hair again and while she looked up at the street-signs, crossing F and 11th street, I could see she was beautiful. She ...

... but I can't remember who it belonged to or what the hell it was doing on a shelf instead of attached to a skull. Maybe I'm just confusing that with John Wilkes Boothe's thorax). These are almost lost amid the jumble of cultural oddities, which includes "Homunculus Skin," the corpse of the Jersey Devil (artfully mounted in screaming pose on a piece of wood), a variety of heads both shrunken and normal size, assorted bizarre animals including the albino pepperoni and the ...
