History lessons
(::GROWLS:: Apparently the 'autosave draft' function isn't compatable with Opera...so I STILL have to write this whole thing out again...::GLARES::)
After going over the program a few more times, I've decided on my schedule for the Phila. Antiques show. I'm ordering one of the combination tickets, which includes the 'Philadelphia's Park Houses' lecture I want to attend, plus a guided show tour before the event opens to the public in the morning (it's only $5 more, why not?). Unfortunately, the lecture falls on the Sunday afternoon of the show, and the tour begins at 10am, so my schedule that day is going to look something like this:
8:00-9:00 Arrive home from work, shower, dress, eat breakfast, short nap
9:00-10:00 Travel to the show (not that far, but do I trust public transit on Sunday morning? No.)
10:00-11:00 Guided Tour
11:00-1:30 Wander the show at my leisure, have lunch, wander more
1:30-2:30 Lecture
2:30-3:00 Go home, pass out.
Hmm. Well, as long as I get plenty of sleep the day before I should be alright...
In anticipation of the show, I've ordered this book (the one I was going on about last night), Historic Houses of Philadelphia : A Tour of the Region's Museum Homes, by Roger W. Moss (who is presenting the lecture). It features all of the houses I grew up around in Germantown, including Wyck, Cliveden, and my personal favorite, the Ebenezer Maxwell Mansion (showing on the left); as well as many more thoughout Philadelphia and the surrounding area that I have yet to visit.
All this has got me thinking maybe after the move I'll volunteer for the Historical Society...in the meanwhile--research! ::hugs books::*
Look, I've been blogged! I got a mention in BrontëBlog for creating the bronteblog and bronteparsonage feeds. This gives me a small burst of extremely geeky pleasure.

Why Neil, why? Look boys, facial hair is never cool, on anyone. Ever. Especially Riker beards. Please shave.
