If you are going to Memphis, you might want to also go to Branson, MO and take in some of the shows there. My wife wants to go to both places some time. They are not too far apart. If you have not ever seen them Yellowstone and Glacier parks are neat places to see. But maybe October is a little late in the year--they are fairly high altitude and you might get snow. Of course you might get snow anywhere in Montana and maybe Wyoming in October. It depends on what the weather happens to be doing just then. You also might need your air conditioning. That time of year.... There are interesting things to see in Washington. If you travel I90 through the state, you will travel over the area of one of the largest floods known, during the last ice age. The floods sculpted the area so it looks unlike any other area I have seen. And there are plenty of things to do and see in Seattle. I hope your daughter likes UW. My youngest daughter did her undergrad work there and was a distance runner on the track/cross country team. She is going to grad school at another college in Seattle. UW is a huge school, and is fairly hard to get into. Be very careful about parking on campus--there is fairly little public parking and if you park in the wrong spot, you WILL get an expensive ticket almost immediately. Been there, done that! Student parking is extremely expensive. My daughter did without a car when she lived in the dorm and later her car sat parked at her apartment most of the time and she used the bus system, which seemed more efficient than trying to find a parking space and paying for it. But your daughter will have to decide what works for her....what field of study is she going into? Hope you enjoy your trip and don't run into snow. If it is early October, I90 should be OK, but you never know for sure. The last couple of years, we have had our real winter in November and December and not much after that. A neat and beautiful trip. Good luck!

Chores - by Frank Young. The ceaseless passing of time! It is at once our friend and our enemy. It measures our progress and it makes us old. Like most features of our life, few things are all good or all bad, and most such judgments depend on our own perspective or viewpoint. In our particular hobby, we enjoy the nostalgic return to the days of our youth as we recreate many of the scenes that took place on the family farm that served as the stage for the first few acts of the play that is our live
