Oh Cashmere, I'm so sorry for you and yours!
I'm back from the Catskills and if this headache would let up, I'd be up and raring to go. Must work on this. Surprising to me, I slept pretty well while on the couch at my aunt's.
May be going to Old Sturbridge Village today, which would rock. Even if it's cold and somewhat rainy, because that keeps down the tourists -- all the fun stuff is in the houses, anyway. Must go and see if houseguest (old college roommate) is feeling up for it....
Yay for timely arrival, Tom! It was fun to watch the plane on its way, but I went to sleep while you were over Wisconsin.
I’ve never even heard of Joey Ramone Memorial.
It's what a handful of people (long-ago Buffistas? Table Talkers? I no longer remember) adopted as National's
real
name once the name of the air traffic controller strikebreaker got attached to it. He deserves no airport memorials at all, while Joey Ramone deserves memorials of all sorts and has none.
Boss will have a rental car, so the drive out to Falls Church will be all him. I'm not sure how familiar he is with the area, so I'd rather go with whichever airport will have an easier/less confusing drive out.

I'd still opt for Joey Ramone Memorial. (I like that name!) It's way closer to Falls Church than Dulles is. Either drive can be confusing for the uninitiated.
I have no idea about the actual geography, so I just think it's hilarious that Vortex said National is closer and Bobbi said Dulles is.
National, now renamed Joey Ramone, is always our first choice over Dulles. But now I am enjoying renaming many other inappropriately named memorial highways, buildings, etc.
eta: I think Vortex and Bobbi both called Ramone as the closer and preferred option.
Timelies all!
Quiet day today. Later we head up to B'more to meet up with a visiting filker friend.

Huh? National is closer, which is what I said.
Jesse just switched the order.
FWIW, Google maps puts Dulles about 17 miles out and National 10 miles. Given how much nicer National is to fly in and out of, I'd definitely go that way.
I did just switch the order. Vortex:
Dulles is MUCH closer to Falls Church
