Hil, I don't know if the weather will cooperate, or what your budget is, but they do sailplane rides at Julian: [link]
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

That looks like fun. I'll look into it some more.

OK, I think I'm going to drive out to Bedford either Saturday or Sunday. There's some historical stuff, covered bridges, pretty mountains, and Gravity Hill [link]

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
That looks interesting , Hil . and I wonder if I would be as adventurous as you are. I always claim that one of my biggest 'faults' is that i really get to comfortable with my ruts

I'm not sure that Bedford, PA, really counts as "adventurous." It's the home of the National Museum of the American Coverlet. (Seriously. [link] )

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Really? The COVERLET?
I read the Internet. I thought nothing could amaze me.
I was so wrong.

Coverlets are cool, and the punched cards of Jacquard loom were the first step towards computers.

It is the out and about that is adventurous. Like I said - i like my ruts and routines
but a coverlet museum is ... not adventuresome, but it might be cozy

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
A coverlet museum actually sounds like the sort of thing I'd go out of my way to see, but then again, I'm something of a textile geek. Also, the history of that kind of everyday item also tends to intersect a lot with women's history, which makes it even more interesting.
Note time stamp - I am awake far, far earlier than I should be. I'm tired, but the noise in my brain will. not. shut. up. Also, I'm sleepy enough that I can't stop my brain from wandering off into the kind of things I wish it would stay away from--all the fears, hurt, and negative self-talk that it's hard not to listen to.
