Please put my entries in the best place as you see. And, by the way, I forgot to mention that I am on my way to Amsterdam - Switzerland today. I will be back in 2 weeks and expect to see lots of progress!

F07 Up BOYLEN Anne Boylen was executed on May 19 1536. Second wife of Henry XIII. She pretty much started the Church of England, was mother of Elizabeth I and had more intrigue in the court in 3+ years as queen than would fit in 3 years of a TV drama.

C 01 across If you don't need a space MOTHERS DAY Else, use L 07 across. Seems like this is one holiday both hemispheres agree on.

F12 DERBY 150 year old horse racing event in Kentucky US. Historically the spring event with big picture hats, mint julips (Whiskey mint drink) roses and sometimes rain. Runs today with the big event later in the day.

Makes wardrobe planning difficult, I suppose!

Happy Birthday, and a great year to come!

Randi, Weather reports for the US east coast broadcast in Southern California look as though you have been wiped out 3-4 times this week. Is all OK?

As a kid, I remember seeing ECHO and TelStar passing by. We were out in the open prairie far enough away from Chicago lights to see them occasionally, though which was which would be hard to tell. There's a lot up there now!

Stuart, you have outdone yourself!

Thanks, Stuart. I will enjoy listening to this for along time.

The first few years of my retirement we were still in a prolonged drought. I started hanging my laundry out to dry as one of my efforts toward a smaller carbon footprint. I became complacent, on occasion, leaving it out overnight. We were in a drought- it wasn't going to rain. Well, I guess we are o...

I am one of those Americans of Irish heritage. My Great- great grandparents came to the US in the mid- 1850's, mid-potato famine, 100 years +/- before I was born. I must be lucky, I have found numerous 4-leaf clovers as a kid. Luck comes when a child finds playing in the grass and clover entertainin...

Everyone is on their A game today!
