With all this talk about the wonders of this country, architectural and
otherwise, I noted in a posting on RootsL, a genealogy list I'm on, that
one gentleman was extolling the wonders of the Grand Masonic Lodge in
Philadelphia, PA.  I have never seen this grand edifice, nor do I expect
to, but he thought it was really sumpin'. Just thought I'd throw that out
there.  Ruth

Stunned, absolutely stunned, when my daughter asked me to fly out to
Chicago and drive her back to New York at the end of sophomore year.  Like,
when has she wanted to spend time with me before?  But I happily accepted.


You're a wise man, and must have done something right that the kid wants
to you to make that trip with her.  Heartiest congratulations.

When, as newlyweds, That Woman and I drove from the Holy City of Chicago to
Joisey City, we went through an Amish pocket of Ohio that was quite nice.
Although it was 27 years ago, given that they're Amish, it might still be
there.  I can also tell you that Pennsylvania was (and probably still is) a
VERY long state from west to east.

You might take a look at Fallingwater.  Mauch Chunk/Jim Thorpe was pretty
neat about 20 years ago, too, but that may have been before we all had
enough of cutie-pie Victorian towns.

What, me cynical?
