City trip? (Would be a local filter if I were less lazy)

[beetiger]

I'd like to take Rhys in for his first trip to the Museum of Natural History later this week, and I'd love to combine that with some visiting with friends who live down that-a-way and can make a bit of free time on a weekday afternoon (probably Thursday). Anyone up for it?

Depends on where Dan is working, if anywhere.

So for me it would be best to say where you are going to be and when and me let you know if that's possible. He has to go to the union hall and see if there is work for him. If not, obviously he'll be home to watch at least one. Three would be a bit much for me to take. That and of course what day the dear workman's comp check shows up, funfun. But other than all those really annoying obstacles? Yes, sounds like fun. :D

The only way I can do this is if the Temp Assignment ends suddenly (always a possibility, since it was "through sometime in August" when I started there); if it does, I'll show up with cattitude.

Very likely, indeed, though it depends on whether I have a job interview then. I should know that late tomorrow. Or is that a general Thursday, rather than a specific Thursday-the-day-after-tomorrow?

Anyway, I love the museum and would be happy to go with you if it fits my schedule. Further, it's possible I can get you in on my membership -- the written rules say no; the people at the entrance have said yes three times out of three so far.

Of course he should see the herd of elephants and other creatures, but I also highly recommend the Pacific Northwest Natives exhibit. I think a young'un would get a big kick out of their iconography. I think it's my favorite room in the whole museum, I just love the atmosphere there. May have something to do with being stared at by lots and lots of giant creatures.

Hmm... I'm always up for a trip to the museum. However, I work until 6pm effectively. Plus another hour to get into the city, or more, depending on train schedules.

P.S. Remember that the donation that is requested on entry is entirely flexible. You can donate as much or as little as you want. The prices are just advisory. That said, the cost for any sub-exhibits (such as the theater) is non-optional.
