Friday, September 14, 2001		thank goodness we and everyone we know are allright as far as we know. monday, mom and dad landed at SFO returning from their trip to Ireland, literally twelve hours before the catastrophe began. plenty of friends of friends are grieving directly, and our hearts go out to all ... love is stronger than hate. posted by moya watson 11:01 AM
Wednesday, July 25, 2001		we're home now! caught a US Airways flight from Manchester to Philadelphia, and from there to sacramento via salt lake city on Delta...finally getting home around 1:00 AM local time. went on a nice ghost walk around york, and then we proceeded to beverly and saw the minster where the relatives were married in 1826 - more on this later. we then sallied forth up the east yorkshire coast to filey...finally catching a train to manchester, because gatwick was a little too crowded. rick and debbie posted by Rick Watson 3:47 AM
Wednesday, July 18, 2001		hi all...we are here in york now. we saw where will hung out in stratford, and thanks to debbie, we caught a play by the royal shakespeare company. we then spent three lovely days on the canals in a narrowboat. we also visited a minister in lichfield where they apparently had the skull of st. chad on display for passers by in the medieval days (you remember chads don't you?). anyway, we are here in york and going to visit a medieval dungeon. cheers for now! rick and debbie posted by Rick Watson 3:02 AM
Tuesday, July 10, 2001		or maybe i can figure the blogger out? debbie and i are in bath and then up to stratford to look in on old will. great to see moya and leanne, even if we couldn't remember everyone's names. although i think we're OK on that now. anyway...we hope to rent a narrow boat for a few days and see some of the canals... cheerio, rick posted by Rick Watson 4:48 AM
Thursday, July 05, 2001		greetings from london leanne and i met rick and deb at brown's today for high tea. they were pretty tired, in that post-trans-atlantic-flight state of mixed excitement and fatigue... trying to remember eachother's names, and things like that. we were delighted to meet them! we fly tomorrow out through thunderstormy london skies back to foggy san francisco. just heard a thunderclap as punctuation! we got to share our vacation roundup, and listen to a bit of their plans gelling. keep a watch out here for the next watsonhousetraveller photo album extravaganza! we should have quite a collection by the end of summer! posted by moya watson 12:31 PM
Sunday, May 06, 2001		Opps! Sorry Moya, I thought Easter was next week...must have been using the old Alexandrian astronomers' method of computing Easter rather than consulting a calendar...by the way...see the watson history link on the sacramento web page. Looking forward to seeing everyone at Mum's day. "It's not much of a cheese shop really, is it?" "finest in the district, sir." "And what leads you to that conclusion?" "Well, it's so clean." -monty python posted by Rick Watson 8:27 PM
