Today

 Today I’ve been educated; but only virtually. Yesterday however, we took another walk in the woods.      We took roads less traveled. …and found a nice sunny beach the locals hang out at. Complete with a rock face for climbing up and jumping off. Pressing on.  …we found a nice overlook for lunch. 

Oops

 I’m going to attend a three-day continuing professional education conference in Washington, D.C. starting Monday.  I don’t need to fly there though, I’m going to be a virtual attendant. That seemed like a really good idea when I first thought of it.  We were in the Central Time Zone then.  Since, we’ve move two time zones west.  Now I’m attending classes that start at 7:30am, but I’m three time zones to the west. Oh well.  Considering that the other option to attend would be to fly to Washington, D.C., attend in that time zone, then fly home, I think I’ll be fine with getting up in the early morning dark to sit at my computer for a few days.  

McKee

 We made it to the McKee’s in Louisville for a visit last month.  That’s always an interesting experience. Not only do we get to see them, we get to catch-up on their latest projects.  The newest project is the door we’re standing in front of.  I’m led to believe it’s called an elvish door. Not just an elvish door, it has an alterego.  From the other side it’s a dwarvish door. A dwarvish door with cool hinges. REALLY cool hinges. It looks good in their living room, behind that lamp that looks pretty good too. The hand carved inlaid floor in the hallway isn’t new.  It was here last time we were. A person could spend a long time picking out all the detail.  Remember that Lincoln engine and transmission in the garage that belongs in the Valkyrie? http://steveandjudystravelblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/remember-valkyrie.html It has changed a little. Now it has a wheel attached to it. 

I’ve been practicing thinking in helicopter

 You can’t just pick up the controls, put a helicopter in the air, then figure out what the controls do.  Well, you can, but there will be a lot of crashing. So never-mind me, walking around the campground, eyes fixed on the imaginary craft I’m controlling with my thumbs.  I’m working on banked turns.
