We’re in amazing Edinburgh!
I’ve got plenty of
- scenery, outside our hotel room,
- interesting things to notice in Boston, London, Scotland, and in-between,
- love and concern — from caring people around the world — and
- easy ways to continue my venerable tradition of blogging 955 days in a row (although probably at different posting times, while my son, my excellente ex-sister-in-law, Deborah, and I are here).
At this writing I do NOT have plenty of
… baggage.
But who needs baggage in this beautiful world of ours, with so many great sights and sounds?
Plus, Deborah just messaged me — on my iPhone — that “delivery process has been initiated” for our bags.
I got plenty of gratitude for people who initiate solutions, my son Aaron, my excellente ESIL Deborah, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, brilliant and stupendous people in London, Scotland, and elsewhere, and you — of course! — no matter what baggage you’re carrying around, today.
Hope your baggage all arrived with no problems!
Not yet, Emilie, but I have high hopes!
Where, or where, can I get crab pretzels? That’s second only to wishing I could see “Kind Hearts and Cormorants”. Of course that’s an allusion to “Kind Hearts & Coronets”, the film in which Alec Guinness plays eight different parts. All that should come second to concern about you getting your bags, but it looks like you’re having a wonderful time in Edinburgh, and these things will come in time.
Everything will come in time, Chris, including great comments from you. And you can get crab pretzels at Logan International Airport in my hometown of Boston. Who knew?
This may be my favourite blog entry ever — the Smiling Ann post. Have a wonderful time with Aaron!
Having a wonderful time. Wish you were here!

beautiful
appreciation.
Baggage and luggage can seem so different sometimes, can’t they?With baggage, you are dragging the past. With luggage, you are going places.
Beautiful ideas, which I will carry with me, Maureen.
Love the text — delivery process initiated! Beam me up Scottie!
🙂
Yes. That was the language of the baggage trackers, Louise. They completed their fifteen hour mission, finally!!
I hope you are enjoying the trip
We are, indeed. Thank you, Derrick.
Oohh … you are so happy looking. I hope the smile is still there and your bags have arrived by now!
I have some pangs for home seeing the sites in Edinburgh! I know exactly where you are. Handy for the station and everywhere you need to get to!
The smile is still there, although I am exhausted. And yes the location is fabulous,
Val.
Welcome to Edinburgh, the land of déjà vu’s, and this is all the baggage I need!! And I’m not interested in love and concern, from caring people around the world! No!

It’s difficult to stay grumpy, being in Edinburgh and looking at that amazing scene!
Abbey, my own student called me a cougar, this is unacceptable!

Hurry up and get the baggage, you can always fire her after the show.

I think you two should get your own show and bring it to the Fringe Festival! You would fit right in here.
Really? But Grumpy is always ruining everything!
It’s okay to be grumpy, especially during times of change.
Ahem, did I just hear my name??? If those two cougars come to Edinburgh, I will go to Antartica! I’M THE FEATURED CAT AT THE FRINGE FESTIVAL, not them!

There’s room for lots of divas here, believe me.
what wonderful images- especially your smile and your view from up in the clouds!
What a wonderful comment, Lisa!
Glad to hear you made it.
Enjoying your first impressions.
I’m enjoying your encouraging comment, Jay.
As though you’ll have enough time, there’s this wonderful sculpture of a giant hand, oh dear, north and west of the castle…Just ask. Great for climbing to pose…
I hope we have enough time. Thank you for the tip!
I’m so excited for you and Aaron on this trip Ann – I hope you’re having great fun! <3
Diana xo
It’s almost impossible NOT to have fun in Edinburgh during August, Diana — it is so exciting here! <3 xo
I love feel good, no baggage, no sadness posts! 🙂 Have fun!!!!
I feel bad missing replying to your feel-good comment until my return home, O Chatter Master!
No worries Ann Koplow ! Traveling and fun take priority over all blog comments! 🙂
No worries and no baggage. Yay!!
No crab pretzels, please and thank you. It look cold, Ann, but what the hey, it is Scotland. I hope you brought warm clothes in your baggage that will arrive. 🙂
Actually, Mark, the weather is perrrrrrrfect.
