Rain

Worse - my parents are coming to visit this weekend. Whatever will we do if it's raining (please not the mall, please not the mall).

I love going to the movies when it rains. The smell of rain and popcorn is nostalgic and soothing. That's my vote.

Take them to see the Chihuly exhibit at the MFA. No special ticket needed; the exhibit is part of the regular price admission. Even non-art lovers will like it.
I think you'll be fine for the weekend, though.
Hoping I won't be freezing my azz off at my graduation, which is at the Bank of America Pavilion, catching those lovely freezing winds off of the harbor.

This weekend at the BOA Pavillion? You must be graduating with my sister. Maybe I'll catch a glimpse of you grabbing that diploma

Crankin - congrats again on the graduation! I'll keep fingers crossed for lovely weather for you.

As I suspected, once I was ON the bike OUTSIDE, I was actually fine. Managed 2+ hours on the SS MTB (is that resting?!?!?!?). I'm really glad now that I did go out.

Red - the movies sound good, but for some reason, my parents LOVE to shop when they come to visit. And with the CDN $ higher than the US right now, they'll likely want to do even more

m. eliza, is your sister getting her graduate or undergraduate degree? There are two separate ceremonies and I will be at the graduate school ceremony, at 10 AM.
Thankfully, I have a 3/4 sleeve stretchy, knit dress that is pretty warm. And that lovely robe and hood to cover it should help.

Snow on the ground this morning. It is 32 degrees and tonight is supposed to get back down to 32. My poor perennials are all very unhappy

So sorry! But as sorry as I am, I do have to request that you don't send it this way .

I'll do my best but no guarantees!

Crankin, she's getting her graduate degree at 10am. It's been a long time coming. She'll finally have some well-deserved free time to do what she loves--travel! When my mother got her bachelor's degree a few years ago, it was about the coldest May day imaginable with every type of winter precipitation coming down all morning. Most of the graduates got to sit under a tent, but since she was the valedictorian, she had to sit up front and brave the elements for two hours. Personally I think the valedictorian should have been allowed to enjoy the ceremony... I'm hoping for much better weather for you!

Spokewench, I can't even imagine snow right now. I guess I can't really complain about a little rain!

[Crankin]

I hope to see you there, m. eliza. Maybe I should put a bike symbol on my cap?

I am assuming the BOA pavilion is covered, at least, though the winds may be blowing in from the sides.

I am sorry you had snow, Spokewrench. But, I have to say, I agree with SheFly. Don't send it here.

[m.eliza]

I believe most of the Pavillion is covered, if not all of it. Hopefully you'll get a seat far enough away from the edges to avoid the bitter winds.

In other news, I heard Sunday is supposed to be just "mostly cloudy," but until then, this is what my life has become...



Sigh...
