Tuesday. Three work nights left until our long weekend. Last night was busy, thanks to many admissions via the emergency room. That's fairly normal for this time of year, though, as allergies and asthma run amok.

I haven't seen mountains since last summer. I am past due.  It seems that nearly every year we make it to the mountains for a few days. It might be the Smokies, the Blue Ridge, the Rockies, or the Black Hills, but I seem to require a visit to some sort of mountains periodically. This year I will be lucky. This long wekend in the Cumberlands in Kentucky, and will get to see the Catskills in New York in August, as well as the mountains in Pennsylvania on the drive to and from New York.
