Yesterday, we went out to see the Gateway Arch and the Museum of Westward Expansion. The museum was interesting, with some animated dioramas. The ride to the top of the arch was what I remembered: wait for a tiny, cramped elevator that seats 5. Ride up (4 minutes). See everything through tiny windows. Ride down. But S&F enjoyed it.
As for the day in general: bleh! First, we all got up tired and cranky. This wasn’t a good start to the day. Then in the afternoon, I got a killer headache, so I tried to rest, while gf_guruilla read a cookbook she got, and S&F colored. I finally got the headache knocked down by 7:00 PM, and tried to go online.
Extra-thick molassas slow connection. Even an hour on the phone to tech support didn’t help. It’s barely better this morning. I’m going to complain to the hotel and see if they can get us a room with a “fast” connection, as promised. They haven’t had trouble with the connection in this room, but something must be wrong, and I don’t want to keep frustrating folks whilst I get frustrated at the connection. [PS to ellipticcurve WRT this: can you let Charlie/Robert know I may not be able to sign my timesheet, and there are no changes from what I entered Monday.]
I’ve still got the remnants of the headache this morning—perhaps it is allergies with all the extra pollen out here. We’re planning to go to St. Charles today, and get together with some family friends tonight.
