I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, hey, the Amtrak app will finally let me book a round trip that returns the same day as departure. That was a much needed improvement.

Is it wrong to take the train to a Ren Faire? Feels a little wrong. But shouldn't be worse than driving.

Is there a horse-drawn wagon available?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

And Lookingglass Theatre did a musical about the Eastland sinking in the Chicago river. [link] It was really kind of wonderful.

Not, I think, the whole way.

Connie, I hadn't realized tomorrow was Pioneer Day. I didn't see any fireworks stands like I did last year.

On the plane, waiting to taxi. I have a 4 week old baby next to me. He is blissfully asleep right now. Even if he cries, I can handle tiny baby cries over screeching toddler screams (a few rows back).

I'm thinking on foot, with coconuts.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Jesus, there was a mass shooting at a movie theater in Lafayette, Louisiana. Two dead, including the gunman, eight wounded.

There may be more bans this year, people not wanting to burn the state down. Plus the Pioneers rolled into the Salt Lake Valley, it took a while to get to St. George.

ION, I received an announcement for what I believe is the ceremony to put Hubby's name on the memorial wall for organ donors. Last weekend in August, some bright bulb scheduled it for 9:30 in the morning, when it will be cool. I shall take the train up, that way I can cry as much as I need to. The light rail stop is right at the library where the wall is.

I'm so sorry, msbelle.

And that is terrible, Dana. It probably shouldn't shock me that that happened in Lafayette (because I should know by now that it could happen anywhere), but it does.

That sounds nice, Connie. I hope it's a good experience for you.
