Classical music nurtures the soul. And this venue is so amazing. As you cross near each instrument or culture the wireless headphones lock on to the signal and you get to hear and linger at your leisure. I believe you can also bring your own earbuds and use their receiver. Either way, amazing! |

The kids really dig that and it doesn't take a lot to light a fire that illuminates the world of possibilities for them. Well yes they do, of course each exhibit is interactive in thgat as you turn to is the receiver picks up the proper music. But there is a sizable music room downstairs for trying out all kinds of instruments. It is just the best thing ever! > I had a demo of the Apple Airpod yesterday. Whoo boy, that was most impressive! Unfortunately, I have no iPhone. That lit my fire to the possibilities of this technology. My guess is that computers and cell phones will be replaced with wearable computers i.e., glasses and earpieces. Once again, Apple fires the opening shot with this highly finished, refined, product. > They love to lead! |

I think all the moving while Dad was active military had something to do with it. It's not as if we didn't speak the language.  Her parents were from the Glasgow area so she grew up hearing that particular brogue every day. Jill |

I had a demo of the Apple Airpod yesterday. Whoo boy, that was most impressive! Unfortunately, I have no iPhone. That lit my fire to the possibilities of this technology.

I know people that were never more than 25 miles from where they were born. It is good to see up close how people live in different areas, but many are content to just go to the supermarket once a week and watch TV all day. |

It is good to see up close how people live in different areas, but many are content to just go to the supermarket once a week and watch TV all day. === I am glad I moved around a lot and lived in different countries, but we are done with all that now I have no wish to do any of it again, but I am glad we did it )-- http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

OTOH, I can catch spiders. I saw a big one in the bathroom yesterday. Typically, in this house, there would be a lot of screaming when one shows up but I didn't feel any alarm at this beast. Evidently, the only reason I get alarmed is because the wife and kids are yelling when they see one. I got a bowl from the kitchen and went up on my granddaughter's steppy stool because it was near the ceiling. To my great surprise, it jumped. I have never seen one of these jump before. Another surprise is that it landed in the bowl and thus sealing its fate. Unfortunately, it didn't land on me because it would be interesting to see what I would have done. I have no idea how I'd handle it - now I might never know. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaqVS9yC7hE |

I've been to so many places in the UK. At this stage in my life I know I do not want to live in a major city, but preferably in a moderate to small village. It's easier and quicker to travel in the UK than in the US, and as I used to travel frequently to NYC, I would want to travel to London, mainly to take in shows at the West End theaters. I've heen remiss in writing, but it would be nice to discuss this and other things further. I'll write tomorrow. Wayne Boatwright === It is all a matter of preference I suppose. I am a Yorkshire Lass and that is my preferred place apart from Scotland. As you know I came up here with work and have now been here so long it would be hard to uproot and live somewhere else. Even Yorkshire we only go for holidays I have lived in many places in the world and country but I am done with all that now I have no interest in returning to any of them-- http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk |
