Something I'd like to do for Memorial Day:
visit Alcoa's Millennium Manor.
I don't really know why that place fascinates me so much. Maybe it's because it seems like something you'd find in someplace far away from here, like New England or Jupiter, yet it's hear in our back yard.
Anyway, I don't know about you, but I'm going to make a serious attempt to get there. If I only had someone to drag along with me....

Cool. I didn't know it had a name. When I was about 4 or 5, a friend of my dad's was the realtor for this place and let us poke around. He said the couple thought they would live forever and built everything from stone. I even remember stone furniture. At some point I wandered off and when my parents found me, I had fresh blood all over me. They washed it all off and couldn't find any injuries. We still don't know where it came from, and I don't remember anything. I went back there about 8 years ago when the building was occupied by some cultish religious organization. They let me look around a bit, but kept me on a short leash, so I didn't stay long.
Hiya Gnaw, good to see you. That's a really cool story; now I *really* want to go check the place out.
But probably not with a 4 or 5 year old.
