Last call, I think   We shall be getting on the train to France around 7am tomorrow. From the rumors that Azucena has given me about checking email and doing clothes while there, I don't think I will be able to. I'll wait and see.   It's been pretty fun so far except when it hasn't been fun. That's mainly trying to drag my butt out of bed in the morning.   So far, I've seen the Tower of London (really a castle started by the Romans around 40 a.d.)  The London Dungeon, which is 1/2 dungeon, 1/2 Disney ride.  British History Museum. Mummies OH My. And dead people that have been preserved for centuries.  Science Museum. Cool. Saw a 3d movie. That ANTZ dance hall in 3d was pretty neat.  Natural History Museum. It showed me that we are doing it all wrong. Joe paid extra, but if he knows what I know, he could have saved himself a lot of money. Yes, the museum had a whole section on the sexes. Who they are and how they got to be. Really. The cutaway was very educational. Gave up on Madam Toussards and the Planetarium because of the crowd.  Went to the British Library. Magna Carta, Guttenburg, Printing press, 20,000 stamps (by collectors -- those that donated their sets to the library)  Millineum Eye (largest farris wheel in the world, and damn worth it too). We didn't take the Millineum Bridge. Too shaky. No spell check here, so tough.  Oh, laundry. Let's not forget that. BBQ ribs too, almost, but not quite. I'll keep in mind to return them the next time I get ribs with a knife stuck in them.  Warwick Castle and Kinleworth. Is there anything I haven't done? Geeze. Give me a day off. And yesterday around midnight, as she changed the setting from FINE picturs to Super Fine, she said YES to the FORMAT option. Does anyone know what FORMAT means? I rest my case. We went from about 200+ pictures to about 40 after today.  I stopped by Sherlock Holmes museum, but didn't go in. Bought some junk instead.  Kink Lear. To be or not to be. That's King Lear, right? Well, it's Shakespear, the same thing. Did I bring you anything back? Are you kidding? Ha, I laugh in your face. If you're lucky, you'll see the pictures she formatted. Uh, sorry about that. I might bring some Dr. Pepper back for Sharon. By the way, Glocuester is pronounced Gloster. So how is Locuester pronounced? Locuester, of course. Glocuester was a Duke or an Earl was in King Lear.   I think that's it for now. If you want to retaliate (respond, sorry), I may be here for a few minutes checking out other things to stall for time.
