Tell Susan "Happy Birthday". She shares it with my granddaughter Elizabeth who turns 10 today...Nice to hear from you. Connie in very cold Tennessee -----Original Message----- From: Greg Lovelace Sent: Thursday, January 13, 2011 11:01 AM To: lovelace@rootsweb.com Subject: [LL] Thursday morning Good morning, cuzzins! I find myself with a few minutes to myself this morning... bossman is busy working at home, and we usually have a lab meeting on Thursday mornings, so I've spent this "free" morning doing a few things around the lab that needed tending to... Yesterday was a madhouse. Our pure water system sprung a leak, so I had to spend an hour on the phone with tech support at Millipore, which isn't much fun. Then one of the researchers had a problem with a chemical he was using in experiments which was working until he used a new bottle. Then it quit working, and he wanted to get some of the older stuff, which is no longer available. Spent an hour on the phone with tech support from Sigma-Aldrich... again, not a pleasant pursuit. Then an old computer attached to a critical instrument for some of the researchers died. This was one of the old IBM Thinkpads running Win2000. Luckily I had a newer Dell laptop squirrelled away (the one I had before I got a newer one), so last night I wiped it and installed Win7, brought it in this morning, and hooked it up to the netowrk and to the instrument. Works like a jewel now. So it was a day of many fires. Today is Susan's birthday... We're celebrating tonight by taking the girls out to dinner with us... We're headed to Husk, the new restaurant where Maya is working as a cook. She wangled the night off so we could buy her dinner! Should be fun, and we know the food will be wonderful. Well, time to go... Y'all have a great day!

Happy Birthday Susan! My wife and I are still coming to Charleston the week of April 14 which is the day of my wife's birthday.  What are some of the things we would want to see while there?

What are some of the things >we would want to see while there? Wow... mid-April will be a perfect time to visit. Might be past the prime for blooming azaleas here, but it will be nice weather-wise. What you would want to see is variable. This year is the 150th anniversary of the secession of SC and the beginning of the War Between the States (aka "the recent unpleasantness" or "The War of Northern Aggression"), so I would recommend a boat trip out to Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor. Plus there are restaurants galore to explore, and lots of museums. There are also the historic plantations to the west of the city... their gardens should all be lovely that time of year. Alton, there is just so much to do. Shopping, carriage rides in the city, theater, comedy improv... you name it, we got it! I just checked, and there are no concerts yet scheduled for the coliseum around that time... that may change, though. Go here http://www.charlestonarts.sc/ and explore what might be happening around that time. If there's not much there, it may be because the schedules are incomplete this early. Anyway, come and enjoy. You and Delois need to come and visit me and Susan on James Island. We'll talk as the date gets closer! Peace, Part of the Tree, Greg

Thanks much dear friend. We certainly do plan to meet with you while there. I am hoping our health will permit this trip this time. I will go to the website you mentioned. Keep in  touch.
