Written in Bone Exhibit

Today, Renee has to work at the Smithsonian Natural History Museum. She’s a docent at the Bone Lab for the Written in Bone exhibit.  Written in Bone, through forensic invetigation of human skeletons, examines history through 17th-century bone biographies, including those of colonists teetering on the edge of survival at Jamestown, Virginia, and those living in the wealthy and well-established settlement of St. Mary’s City, Maryland.

I always have to tell a little something about the exhibit because I think it rocks. I’ve seen it 3 times. But while she worked there, I spent the day at Teaism near the museum.  (See next post).

Las Vegas – Here were come!

Yesterday was packing for Las Vegas. Or more accurately, having Renee pack for me as I was embroiled in meetings on the Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities (CRPD).  I just hope I have the right clothes.  Our good friends from the Cat Vacuuming Society of Northern Virginia Writing Group are getting married.  Well, two of them are.    One of them you may have seen online as DLThurston. Both are very talented, and pretty awesome people in general.

Today, we’re on our way! It promises to be a very exciting (and fun) trip. And of course we had to start it off right…airport slot machines! The worst odds in Vegas. Okay, we actually stopped to tie my shoe but wow, the glitz and flashing lights hit you right upon landing. It’s 1am and the place is hoppin’. I think I might like Las Vegas.
