I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Looks like they're about the same distance from me. Are we talking about meeting up for a meal, are you staying the night?

Also, Cashmere's husband is in Richmond right now, I believe. I don't know how often she comes down, but it would be cool to see her too.

Staples Mill Road looks easier to get to without backtracking. Just a layover in Charlotte. An hour and a half at 5 am does not seem ideal for visiting, but is Charlotte convenient to anyone?

Hm, I was thinking just a meal but staying overnight would be very convenient. Looks like I can get to Richmond but the last train going on to DC same day is about 5:30pm, which is very doable but would leave me needing to stay overnight in DC as there appear to be no evening trains leaving there at all. Which would not be a bad outcome, but having a place to stay already sorted is always better.

Ooh, but there's an overnight to Savannah. Oh dear, I'll have to think about that. Probably too much to try to fit in, but maybe not...

Seeing Cashmere would be very cool! I'll ping her just in case.

I believe a lot more trains go to Staples Mill. Just keep me posted.

Throwing it out that BWI as a stop in Baltimore on the way to DC might garner a few Balto. Buffistas, and I could certainly go to Baltimore for a visit, dinner, whatever. I mean, and hang in DC, too, but if maximizing seeing people is a plan, think about a Balto. stop!

Was planning on Baltimore already! DC is more of a hub so I will definitely pass through there, but I should be able to arrange things so I'm in Baltimore for longer. Or take some other transit between DC and Baltimore, that might be the practical option

Yay CT! Im about 45 minutes from Java (in Hartford), so would love to see you! I'm also about 90 minutes from Stamford if that's easier for you.

Yay! Looks like I will be there for a few days at least so we should be able to get together somewhere! I’ll be in and out of the Stamford station, mostly, but also might be able to get around by car so many possibilities!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm about an hour from Stamford or NYC!
