Checking In

Made it okay, most comm during transit from Maryland was by Facebook...  Too hard to do this on the road..

Just a couple of notes.   I divulged that our road food normally consists of McDonalds to go for convenience and limiting time for stopping.   I got some (deserved) crap for eating (in some peoples minds) that crap. I put a rather long discourse on Facebook as to why, and reiterated that i do not eat (and won't) in chains other than this circumstance.  Standards have not been compromised!!

We've started the local whirl with a lunch at a club here in STL with our financial guy, a long standing tradition.  Our business meeting before lunch confirmed that we could afford lunch and the occasional fling.  Tonight we're doing dinner with FOJTE at "The Crossings" on Forsyth in Clayton. Am looking forward and am just about to DFD for that..

A funny instance today...  We carefully plan our packing for the journey and generally lay out the clothes we intend to travel in the MOMSTER in.  I had laid out a pair of "wash pants", but at the last moment before leaving Tuesday I forsook the pants for a more comfortable pair of sweats.

So, today when we got ready for our luncheon date, I donned a shirt, sweater, and pair of dress slacks, and....... discovered that the belt for same had stayed in St. Louis!  So, with thumb in belt loop to keep pants above ankles, we diverted to a nearby Kohl's and purchased a substitute.  Thereby was able to use both hands to eat..  Best laid plans,, etc.

well time to go get
