Silver Spring

[pecunium]

My plan is to leave here on Monday, 19 July, in the early morning bright, and hie me up the road (through the Shenandoah Valley; following the path of "Jackson's Foot Cavalry") up to Silver Spring, Maryland. I'll be staying in Takoma Park (where there is a great music shop ( The House of Musical Traditions), and planning on supper at Mandalay.

It's a Burmese place, so it's new to me.

The fly in the ointment... It's about a ten hour trip for me (about eight on the road, but I have to get gas, eat, etc.). If I don't pack the computer until the morning, I'll be later out the door. I'll look at alternate means of getting it on the bike.

In any case, I won't be on the road earlier than 0700... which means the best I can get in is probably 1630, and 1700 is more like it. I figure I can pretty much be certain of making the restaurant by 1900. I'll shoot for 1830, and try to make an announcement when I get in.

Dang. I have to work Monday night, but yes Mandalay is a great place. My library school buddies regularly meet up there. Enjoy!

Whanh!

So many people who can't quite make it.

I hesitate even to suggest this, but maybe you could stay an extra day, and we could hit some other likely location on Tuesday?

If I didn't have a hard stop on my visit to New York, I'd have suggested it, or shifting my leaving of Tenn. But ladymondegreen is leaving town on the 29th, and I am greedy of my time with her.

It's tempting, really tempting, but I don't think I can do it.

Hope you saw that he's delayed, and that dinner is tomorrow.

Thanks - I did, but tomorrow night I have class! It's a bad week for evening events on my calendar...

I was delayed by weather, so the dinner plans are moved to Tues., if you can make, please do.
