Marimba bands and wild crowds / State motto

Called Harmony earlier to see if she was going to Women's Group tomorrow - it turns out that she and Jon have a family dinner, but I certainly remember how to get to Karmie's! (407 and then the 403) She wondered what time I'd gotten home on Sunday, teased me about the Irish Heather, and mentioned that she'd been worried about me in the crowd... yeah, that was why I had gone home! I said that I'd returned home at 7:40, and Dianne had gotten home at 12:30 after she and Wesley checked out downtown! Harmony and Jon had seen a great marimba band, and said that the crowd was wild - no doubt, with a gold medal win and everything else! Then I tried calling Andrea, but her mailbox was full - maybe I'll just bus there, heh.

Trivia fact for Wednesday, Mar. 3: Which state's motto was taken from a letter written by a Revolutionary War general to members of his company? New Hampshire's "Live free or die." The words were part of a toast Brigadier General John Stark sent in 1809, declining an invitation to the 32nd-anniversary reunion of the Battle of Bennington because of ill health. His full toast was "Live free or die; death is not the worst of evils."
