Amy, Allison and I went to the Baltimore museum of art this afternoon after visiting the countryside deli for brunch.

Following the absorption of culture, we swung by cloverhill yarn shop, and then on to peace a pizza.

Went to yama for sushi, Amy’s treat!

Girls shopped for shoes and makeup after, while I scoped out Barnes and noble / gamestop in Annapolis. Returned home, watched still more it crowd, then I won at settlers of catan by a hair.

We played about 15 hands of we didn’t playtest this at all and this either, and victories seemed fairly distributed, though I did get to poke Allison and calculate prime numbers while doing rock paper scissor.

Tiniest farmers market ever at Calvert memorial, but we got lovely baked goods and veggies from the Cox family ( white oak farms )

Amy trounced us at hanging gardens, Allison won both games of lifeboat.

More it crowd, season 2 after van went home

While I hung out in the parking lot gabbing with Van.

Then went to third eye, art store, and more it crowd during pizza dinner at home to play munchkin bites, Amy won!

Sometimes I’m the hulk, sometimes I’m the bear.

The prehistory of spaceflight is filled with mad scientists. Some of their work led directly to the development of space exploration…others had a much weirder destiny. Such was the case with Robert Condit, who built a rocket in 1928 that he planned to fly from Baltimore to Venus.

By Ron Miller (io9, 5/2/2013)

Condit’s spaceship was a 24-foot-long bullet made of angle iron and sailcloth. It was constructed with the aid of brothers Harry B. and Sterling Uhler of Baltimore—-where the launch was to take place.

Apparently Condit, described as a “Miami chemist”, had built an earlier rocket in his home state. His goal had been Venus then, as well (the rocket was to have been guided to the planet by “polarized magnetic controls”).

The Baltimore rocket was fueled with 50 gallons of gasoline with eight steel pipes for engines. The several layers of sailcloth that covered the rocket were impregnated with varnish making an airtight shell “as brittle as glass.”

Tummy much better, head less throbby, but not 100% yet.

Blueberry smoothies help. I think. Some side effects, still – tmi below.

Internal gut pressure periodically pesky.

Other news, got our check cards back, can’t reactivate Allison’s without her appearing at the bank, but I did mine ok.

Stuck in my head, double earworm mashup – rednex vs psy.
