Midterm tomorrow; Posty re Pennsylvania

Midterm in Bio/Geo99 tomorrow. It's a training wheels class, and I will be horrified if I don't get an A. I finally finished all the reading today (the text is B. Bryson's, A Short History of Nearly Everything, so, very readable) while sitting at this marvelous luxury resort at the former Ft. Baker, which is close to the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge on the Marin side.  Katerinabead and I met at Rodeo Beach two weeks ago, then when the fog rolled in thick, trotted to Cavallo Point for another hour or so. I thought at the time that it would make an excellent weekday study hall spot and I was right!  http://www.cavallopoint.com/  

I'm so thrilled to be (a) retired, and (b) living in Marin County.

I would be doing some practice equations if only I could log onto the damn College of Marin website. Will have to wait until tomorrow morning to get everything reset.

I was pretty surprised at how wrong I was re the location of Forest Hills PA to Bradfordhills PA. I wonder if other kids who left the place where they grew up not too long after learning how to drive also have a bad mental geographic map of their home area. I recognize the towns closer to Pittsburgh because the few competitive sports teams Ligonier had played against them, but I've never been to most of them. We went to Greensburg and Monroeville for the malls, the top of Laurel Mt. and Seven Springs and Hidden Valley to ski, and into Pittsburgh to visit the sister at Carnegie Tech, go to plays or musicals that the community concert series in Greensburg didn't have (side note: Marin has a concert/event series that is SO like the thing I grew up with), and on family vacations that were a lot farther away -- Florida to see the grandparents nearly every Easter and Thanksgiving, Maine, Virginia Beach, Deep Creek Lake, uh.. others.
