So excited! We are really looking forward to visiting with you.

I'm not sure what Max's schedule will be so he may join us too. He's a sweetheart, taller than Brendon and half his weight. One of my favorite kids. He has worked so hard. It isn't easy to keep up with basketball and take a challenging degree program.

Brendon listens to Buffista stories all the time so he heard about flea's kpop love when we watched the Olympics, and knows about Steph's medical editing. He was delighted when I told him that Hil had moved there now too.

Yay! My schedule next week is kind of a mess, but I can definitely be free Friday evening. I'll probably be free Friday daytime as well, but I'm on some work committees that have just gotten ridiculous, and I can't guarantee that there won't suddenly be a thing that I have to do in the office on Friday.

I've been looking at the Cincinnati tourist info sites and see plenty of stuff to do. Friday night the Reds are playing against the Marlins! I have no particular fondness for either team but often find baseball games an interesting look at the city's citizenry.

Baseball game would be fun -- I still haven't gone to a Reds game. There's also the Terra Cotta Army exhibit at the museum, if you're interested in that.

Baseball game would be great Friday night. An easier venue for socializing sometimes than restaurants. Brendon may want to do the exhibit during the day Thursday or Friday. Saturday will be devoted to Max and graduation stuff.

I'll email flea and Steph to see if they are up for a ball game. The stadium website likely deals with accessibility suggestions for seating. Not knowing the layout it is hard to tell which sections are massive flights of stairs and which are easier.

If the weather reports are accurate it looks like rain Friday night.

Heading out early morning and will be there noonish. If anyone would like to do something tomorrow night email is good. I'll leave my phone number in profile for texting.

We are here! Checked into the hotel. Brendon went to catch up with Max and see the school. I am eating of bit of spicy Indian food from a grocery store next to the hotel. Late lunch.

It looks like I'm probably going to be in DC from May 29 - June 1 for a work trip.
