Trip to Indy
Friday we left for Indy, and met Kevin, Trish, Meghan and Maddy by about 4:30. We stayed at the Omni, and it was more kid-friendly than I thought it would be.
Friday night we just ate at the City Centre food court.

Sat. we went to the zoo with Paul & Jan, and the weather was nice.

Sun, we went to the Children's museum, and Buca di Beppo for dinner. Then off to Lsvl, where Stacey & I saw "L'Auberge Espagnole". Funny take on a "trying to unite Europe", from the framework of a student-exchange program. Set in Barcelona, in Catalan, French, Spanish, German, English, etc. etc. The younger British brother was a racist, and the news comes out Monday that Britain still won't join the euro. The Sun reports that Blair is going from "wait and see" to "hope and pray".
Gelb "genius" books

I got the tape of "discover your genius", and liked listening to the beginning enough that I wanted to see the book, since it has "genius activities". Gelb has picked 10 genuises, and shows you how to think like them. I may not remember them all, but Jefferson, Elizabeth I, Shakespeare, Plato, Ghandi, Copernicus and Einstein.

So, I broke down and actually bought "how to think like Leonardo". I have yet to read any of it. I hope I will be able to work through it this summer.
