Sat. nite in wheaton

We actually left wheaton and went to Greenbelt to the cinema tonight. Greenbelt was built about 1936 and was part of Roosevelt's New Deal. Not sure of any details. But the original housing was meant to be affordable and to be somewhat socialist. There were co-ops - in fact Phil, Jr. went to nursery school there and the school was a true co-op. Parents were expected to pitch in and take care of maintenance, etc. The original citizens were politically "left leaning". They tended to be well educated but not hung up on achieving high incomes. Anyway we went to see Venus with Peter O'Toole. We recommend it but it may be less interesting to the younger folks. After the film we went to the Ledo Restaurant just outside the entrance to U of MD. That place has been there and has the same waitresses for at least 50 years. It's a hangout for fans before Maryland basketball games.

We talked about the forthcoming weddin' at dinner and we are getting so psyched!
We just want to encourage all of you out there to try to attend. There are about 8 months to go. So think about it seriously.
