Contrary to popular belief, I’m still sucking air. Today is Anniversary #18 for Wendy and I.

Ahhh… this story interests me because it’s local. Happened right down the road in Thurmont, Md. Below are three pages of the report the Officer filed.

Today we took the boys to Luray Caverns in Northern Virginia. It was their first trip ever into a cave so as you might imagine, they were very excited. The only thing tedious about it was the drive which turned out to be like 2 1/2 hours one way. Some interesting facts about the caverns are….

* They are the largest caverns known in the Eastern United States.
* They are the site of the worlds first “Air Conditioned” house. The temperature in the cave
maintains a constant 54 degrees. A house was built over top of them and utilized the draft to cool the
residence.
* Inside the cave is the worlds largest musical instrument which is a “Stalactite Organ”. When keys are
pressed on the organ, over a mile’s worth of mechanical cables and rubber mallets are used to strike
particular Stalactites to produce a musical note.
* Inside the cave is a “Wishing Well” that folks drop coins into. Each year the water is emptied and the
money is donated to Charity. Last year’s take amounted to over $250,000.

All in all it was a great field trip for the boys. My goal is to create the kind of fond memories my children will take with them into their adult life. Hopefully, we were successful today! Below are a few more pix we took for anyone interested!

Have you ever heard a rumor or maybe gotten a piece of mail with a seemingly unbelievable story? Here is a tip for everyone… Snopes.com is a great I-Web resource to either verify or “debunk” these claims. Their whole purpose is to take in all the wild rumors spreading across our land and investigate their validity.

While surfing, I came across a story that Subway Sandwiches are doing away with their “Sub-Club”. Everyone knows about that, right? You collect their little stamps every time you buy a sub and when you get the card full you get a free sandwich. I mean, that’s been around ever since I was a “wee lad”. It’s a solid rock of American culture, no? Surely these vicious rumors cannot be true? Apparently, the are……..

Ahhh…. Sweet Vacation is upon me again. Total R&R for the next 9 days. The problem is, I have nothing planned! Or is that a problem? Actually, I shouldn’t say that. We do have one thing planned. We want to spend a day at the Baltimore Aquarium sometime next week. Other than that, we are totally “Winging it”. Anyone out there have any good suggestions of places to go? Things to do? SPEAK UP!!!
