The new week approaches

I'm one of those people who think the week starts on Monday, not Sunday. Wonder why that is...

Andrew and Joe came back from the observatory with lots of tales to tell. It sounds like they had a great time. The weather cooperated and they were able to view planets, black holes, and asteroids. Very cool!

There was not much housecleaning going on this weekend, but there was a fair amount of scientific reading. Ecology is a great subject, but after a chapter or two my eyes start to glaze over and I end up having to re-read sections.

So dinner is in the oven (quiche) and I'm making baked apples as well. Pretty soon the house is going to smell fabulous!

As we were having our pre-dinner glass of wine, Joe and I were discussing our trip to Alaska next summer. So far the plan is all four of us spending approx. 10 days. Time is only permitting us to do one of three great side trips: Denali Park, Homer, or Seward. I'm partial to Homer, but I have been there the last 2 times I've been to Alaska. Seward sounds great, but Denali is the trip of a lifetime...and of course it will be the most expensive of the three. We might have to wait to make the decision until after we get the airline tickets. I'm hoping we have enough miles for a free ticket.

So, dinner needs checking and science questions need answering....
