In the news

They ran the Boston Marathon. yesterday or rolled it as in this report. A Canadian Josh ..... in a wheelchair set a world mark in the heat of Boston, this when both men's / women's running times were the slowest in 20 - 30 yrs.

I kinda lolled around the house and did book-keeping. Big successes included getting the BBQ company to maybe send me a replacement burner for the BBQ.  We redeemed Air Miles in '08 to get the BBQ. Apparently, we received a BBQ built in '04. With proof of purchase or point redemption, we may get a new burner assembly  ( Shipping extra ).
A neighbour at QMH, sent an article re: the Battle of Culloden " ( Scotland ).A heritage centre provides a history of the battle and the consequences.  There are many myths and inaccuracies dispelled by the HC. Luckily, I have no misconceptions. At Culloden, some dudes got to-gether and had it out w/ swords and stuff. I believe that is fairly accurate unless they used RPGs or SAMs.
Its amazing that in the last ten days or so, the UK trip has slid into the bckground b/c everything is settled in terms of transport and accomodation. The trip comes up in passing, mainly, ensuring business gets handled while we are gone.
