Miscellaneous

John called this evening - the boaters were having an "adult beverage" before heading out to find dinner. They've stopped for the night at Medina, NY. They're still going to head west in the morning - maybe as far as Lockport - and then turn back east. They're having a great time, and are already talking about doing it again next year - maybe with some of the kids. I told them that if that happened, we'd have to get more boats, so I can go, too.

I went to the movie this afternoon - Ben Affleck's The Town. It was an okay movie, but quite violent, and an extreme use, IMO, of the "f" word.

Lecture #3 on the history of Chattanooga was tonight. The director of the History Center talked about Chattanooga during the Civil War. The three battles in and around Chattanooga - Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge, and Lookout Mountain - basically were the beginning of the end of the Confederacy. Next week, he’ll go on to Reconstruction and into the early 20th Century.
