Rant: I've been back from Scotland for just over a week, and it already feels like it was ages ago. I look through the pictures every evening to try to keep it from slipping away.

Rave: My next trip is just five days away, to meet the new nephew (although I don't know whether Lake Jackson, TX, qualifies as a rant or rave).

Rave: the weather's been beautiful here in Chicago the last few days, and it is supposed to be great this weekend. We're contemplating an outing to Ravinia to hear the Chicago Symphony.

Rant: watching Mark Prior walk off the mound with an elbow injury last night -- okay, not travel related, but enough to send a chill through every Cubs fan's heart. It's gotta be the goat...

Happy Friday, everyone.

Byrd

Rave: We're heading to the beach tomorrow, along with both children and families (all three grandchildren!). We do this every year, and we all look forward to it.

Rave: Going to New Orleans in three weeks with four other couples.

Rant: We didn't get to go to Saba on Monday, as planned, since we couldn't find a single flight with five available seats for all of us.
