It was a birthday
The kids gave me a nice party. Last time we went to the little Lebanese restaurant in town there was no business and the food was delicious. This time the pita was stale or something.. it was just off. Can’t stay in the food business in this area cutting those sorts of corners. I won’t hurry back.
The youth of Banner Elk gave the local aged Presbyterians one heck of a VBS. The little children just bloom under the attention of the teens. And the kids from NC swept up, packed up and headed out today. Like a visitation from angels.
This aged Presbyterian is BEAT.
Now I need ideas for Quentin sorts of activities in Washington D. C.
Just tried to add a photo and it’s more effort than I’m putting into it tonight. Ok, back a little later… think I’ve got it now
The Youth Group
Linda mentioned in comments that our health system certainly needs some sorting. Tara passed through the other day with the stories from the drug store counter. She’s authorized to offer a very reduced price on generics to uninsured customers if they ask for it. On the other hand she had a insured patient getting $600 prescriptions to grow eyelashes for a $50 copay. The disconnect between the cost of a service to a customer and the cost if some sensible market prices were allowed to exist is astounding.
There was a wonderful bit of parody written today if I can find it… Ed Morrisey hits a triple!

The Smithsonian, definitely. Also, when I first went to DC in 1972, we toured the monuments at night. They were gorgeously lit, and you could get quite close without the heat, and the PR people, and all the tourist. Don’t know if that’s still a good idea, but it was fun. Also went to Arlington at night where you could really see the eternal flame, which mattered more to me then than now. Arlington is impressive with it’s perfectly aligned rows of white crosses. Have fun, when are you going?
