Soldier, keep movin’ on*

All this rain and cool weather is doing great things for the iris and for our grass–is it ever green!
In other news, the OM and the boy and I are jetting off this afternoon to Pennsylvania where my niece will get hitched this Saturday. Daughters #1, 2 and 3 all have prior engagements (two graduations and another wedding) so they are not coming. C’est la vie.
The wedding is in Meadville, the home of Allegheny College. William McKinley, you will recall, attended this college and Clarence Darrow and Ida Tarbell graduated from it. The wedding is taking place at the Unitarian-Universalist Church.
Fun fact: The song “Bittersweet Motel” by the Vermont jam band, Phish, was inspired when keyboardist, Page McConnell, left a wedding in Meadville and drove down to the Pittsburgh Airport.
Halfway between Erie and Pittsburgh
You’re putting me through hell
On the highway to the Bittersweet MotelWhen the only tool you have is a hammer
Everything looks like a nail
And your living at the Bittersweet Motel
Indeed, there is no quick and/or easy way to get there, so this will be an adventure in more ways than not. But I am up for an adventure this weekend…how about you?
Safe travels to all who are traveling. See you ’round campus, man!

You are so hip to quote Phish! Travel safely — we’ll see you tomorrow!
Hip, hip hooray!
I can’t believe you quoted PHISH.
