A Quick Welcome...And Picture or Two

 
...to those of you who've come over here from DC Rainmaker's site!  I know you came via this post to read about my kids' first triathlon.  Thanks for stopping by!  And thanks, Ray, for the link!

So, as you know if you read my previous post, we've flown to Seattle.  I didn't mention it specifically in that post, but we DID arrive safely and on time.  My sister-in-law picked us up at the airport and we met Bill's brother for lunch near where he works.

We went to a great little Thai restaurant and had a fabulous, fabulous lunch together.

Carma Yehgo

Anyone remember the show "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?"  It was a kids' game show on PBS that tested geographical knowledge.  I remember my nephew, Calvin (my sister's son) loved it when he was little.  Very little.  Too little, probably, to really understand where the different countries or states were, but it had a catchy theme song or tune, and it was bright and lively and fun. 

And since he was little, he couldn't really say "Carmen Sandiego" very well, so his version sounded more like Carma Yehgo.  Which is way more cute than the real name anyway.

And none of this really has a lot to do with this post, other than the fact that I am writing from somewhere OTHER than my normal habitat.  At first, I was thinking of just posting a picture that I took recently, and asking people to guess, if they wanted to, where I was.  And that got me thinking of the sort of cha-cha-cha feel of the Carmen Sandiego theme song, and that led me to Carma Yehgo, and...well, there you are.

But just posting a "where am I?" picture would be too short, and since I'm feeling the need to be chatty, I'll just go ahead and fill you in.
