In other news, there are some July photos on the photo site already. We played Wii games at David and Lisa’s last night, and today Deborah and I went to the Air and Space museum. This is my third visit, and every time there are new things. I suppose that’s just the advantage of a new museum, but it’s nice that it feels dynamic.

They’re also showing Order of the Phoenix on the IMAX screen there. Were it not for the $12 parking, I’d be all over that.

Because I have left you all without an account of my adventures in June and early July, I am now giving you my itinerary for late July and August. At least you can get a little news ahead of time this way.

Friday, July 20th, at 11:30 pm, we are going to a Buffy singalong.

Saturday, July 21st, Deathly Hallows arrives at my door around 10 in the morning. At 3 pm, I have a haircut/highlighting appointment. I do not believe I can finish the book in that window.

The weekend of July 28th, I’m going to Cleveland with my cousin to visit her parents. The way she’s talking, it’s important for people to visit her parents (she’s been sending all the kids at least once each over the summer and has made sure someone’s there at least every other week until Meg gets back to school in August). Jeff and Lisa were there not long ago. So I think I ought to go, and Jackie’s been asking for a long time if I want to, and now we’re going weekend after next. At least this way I don’t have to drive. I hope at least some of the kids, maybe the little girls, will want to go the same weekend I do.

Shark Week begins on the 29th with a special about the Indianapolis sinking. You know, the ship the old guy in Jaws was on!

Saturday, August 4th, we’re going to Six Flags for Lisa’s company picnic, then that evening is the symphony and Warner Bros. cartoons (“Bugs Bunny on Broadway”) at Wolf Trap. Long day.

The Stardust movie comes out on August 10th. Julie (and probably Paul, I guess) is coming to visit that weekend.

Saturday the 11th is the COF-a-que.

Monday, August 13th, is Josie’s fourth birthday. We’re going to see Casablanca on the big Screen on the Green screen that evening.

There will be a birthday party for Josie on the 18th.

I have a facial scheduled for the 24th.

On the 31st, Jonathan Coulton is playing the Birchmere. Cannot wait. Way to hit the big time!
