Day 1: 2 Trains
Left this morning at about 6:30 (thanks to Dad for taking us to the Amtrak station downtown…and extra kudos for showing up at 5 a.m. to do so!) on a coach class train to Chicago. My very first train ride, not counting the Frisco-Wabash out in Glencoe or the Zoo-line train. I was impressed by the roomy seats and big windows. I was not impressed by the airliner-type potties and two bucks for a can of pop. Breakfast was good: a ham, egg and cheese biscuit samich that M would never in a million years eat if he weren’t on vacation.

Congraduations
Yesterday, two very special people graduated with Bachelor degrees. Hats off (or would it be mortar boards off?!) to Martin James Winkler and Cristina Garcilaso.

Rosebud, MO






I didn’t have much time yesterday, and was pleased I got this much. I really want to go back, given the richness of the subject matter. I spent weeks every summer visiting my Granny and Gramps, who lived on some acreage with 2 lakes just outside of Rosebud, Missouri. These are some of the best memories of my life. A few things have changed in Rosebud since then, but not a lot.
