Thanks, Lauren. I recall a sign you put on your computer once, when we worked together. It said, "Ask Andi First!" -- I loved it! xo

Signs! They're everywhere, if I'm open to them. Like -- opening to a random page of a book and - boom. Just what i needed to hear. Or happening to look up at the clock and - boom. 11:11, again. Or coming across a Substack post like tis one, and boom-- just the right one to spark me.. Thanks for this , Andi! Great post-- lovely to see a pic of you and your Dr. Science, too. In spite of the missing carry-on, it sounds like it was a wonderful trip. Lucky you. Scotland... a place full of signs.

It was an excellent trip. The local tourguides had so much passion for their respective towns and attractions, whether geological features or ancient human-created sites or more contemporary (i.e., the last few hundred years!) locations.

The trip sounds amazing despite the "lost" carry-on. I'mm just a little envious. And thanks for the photo. That's the first time I've ever seen the very handsome Dr. Science.

So many signs, everywhere. One of Keith's favorites is in Arizona. It says, Watch For Rocks. He's only to happy to oblige.

TOO, that would be "too happy"! Write fast, hit send, apologize and correct later 😁
