jeriendhalMostly it involved keeping Tom amused while Tracy got over a nasty 24-hour flu bug. So Saturday Tommy and Daddy went over to the B&O Railroad museum in Baltimore, which I haven't visited since my Boy Scout days. Lotsa fun for us both, as they have really upgraded the facility, with the roundhouse fully restored, and many examples of old steam locomotives plus passenger, freight, and maintenence cars in the yards. And of course they had two model railroads, one mounted in an old passenger car, the other a G-scale set set up outdoor in a children's play area. Tom had a blast, especially at the end when we took a train ride down what was the first rail line ever laid in the US.
Scary fact: Some of the passenger cars in Maryland's MARC commuter rail system are sixty years old. They've just been continually upgraded so you can't really see the difference.
Sunday was more sedate. Tracy was feeling better, so she made the weekly grocery run, while I took Tom to the park.
Manuscript Watch: Week Three,no word yet.
Update: Rejected via form letter. Worse, I screwed up the formatting when I'd submitted it. Baka!
Ah, well. Time to give Asimov's a go.
