The Jubilee Line?
So, anyhow, regarding the title, as you know last summer we took the boyos to London. I bought a jigsaw puzzle of London's tube system to do in the winter months when the trip was all but forgotten. We worked it not too long ago and glued it together so we could hang it up. Now Brent quizzes us at dinner. What color is Jubilee? What color is Picadilly? What's the one that begins with a C and ends with an e and is a first grade word? What is the name of the purple line? It's pretty cute. We do not know the answers.

Most Boring Blog Ever
Anyhow I love that today is Friday and the weekend is spread before me with nothing to do. Vendors and employees are paid, husband is traveling, kids are with Mom, Mom is staying in because she is sick so I'm free and easy this weekend. I see Taco bueno and Masterpiece theater in my future.

Southern India
Hiya, Sitting at an Internet cafe in Ponducherry which is 3 hours south of Chennai on the South East coast of India. Amanda and I are here together in this town that is influenced by the French who colonized it. The architecture is a mixture of European colonial and Indian decay. Overall the effect is wonderful and we are staying at a fab guest house with mosquito nettting, brightly colored quilts and the most peaceful balcony.
We left mom in Chennai and she should be at the end of day two of her stay at the Ayervedic spa, Ideal. We meet up with her again in New Delhi next week but gave her our mobile number just in case she has got to get out before that. They will be sitting very still and staying out of traffic so I think she will love it. I have my girls with me and I warned them before we came that India is a lovely intoxicating yet difficult place. I think they agree now. We have each had the experiences now with the solicitous Indians who wish to please but who in reality cannot understand a word you are saying. However, being here with Mom and Amanda has made it far much more fun for me and has enabled me to see it with a more generous spirit. At least I'm trying.
