Planet Word

Hello, While in DC, we went to the newish museum, Planet Word. We found it to be interesting. It gives a bit of the history of language and how it continues to evolve. There were a number of school groups there so it meant waiting to look at things. Certainly, the students go at these exhibits much faster than we do. Many of the displays were interactive which has a strong appeal for the younger set. We also felt a bit of time pressure as we wanted to be back before our younger granddaughter came home from school. It is so nice to be able to use the Metro. We have our senior passes so we get to move around at a discounted rate. We each added $20 to our card and did not come close to using that amount. I did see a young guy jump over the gate where we scan our cards. I am happy to pay instead of trying to leap. We could have driven the car while we were in town, but we chose not to. We hired LYFT the few times we needed to use a car. It was more expensive, but much less anxiety producing. Neither Leroy nor I like to drive in city traffic. This is especially true in a city we have not driven in, except about 30 years ago. I suppose if we lived here, we would learn to handle it, but not now. On Sunday we went to our oldest granddaughter’s guitar recital. She certainly handles herself well in front of an audience in multiple circumstances. It was raining, again the hire of a ride was a good option. Their friend gave us a ride home. That was a gift. Paula
