Hello from a soggy, chilly Baltimore. The Cruisers reunion ended Thursday after 4 days of near perfect weather and then the bottom fell out. Probably nothing compared to next week.

Rainy days are Ruby's days to watch her video.

She especially likes the birds. It also has squirrels, mice, fish etc. Everything for the adventurous kat in your boat.

After an hour or so she becomes tired of chasing them around (in her mind) and takes a nap.

We laid over an extra day in Baltimore and Monday will head to Annapolis and go way back up in Spa Creek or some other protected place and wait for Isabel. I had planned to go to Deltaville this week but going in the direction of a Cat 5 Hurricane is not my idea of fun. It looks like right now they are predicting it to come over our heads sometime Thursday or Friday. And I thought I came up here to get away from them. At least I am not on the coast and it has to go 150 miles or more to get to me.

I uploaded the June 2003 travel log this weekend. Maybe sitting around this week I can get caught up with July and August.
