Welcome to the silklist Linda! And welcome, slightly in advance, to

in place?)
Thanks. You've got to love those India (American-Indian, not
India-Indian) words...place names around here are full of them. Even
the locals tend to abbreviate the state name in writing and speech as
"Mass." Where I grew up, in central Mass., learning to pronounce "Lake
Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg" was a rite of passage.
Attempting to spell it is not for the faint of heart. :-)
you are going to just LOVE Bangalore traffic...especially
if this is your first visit to India.
I admit that I've got it good here at home...though I live in the city,
I can take the train to work, so I rarely even need to deal with the
worst sort of traffic (or the exorbitant parking prices) that the Boston
area has to offer. Call me blissfully ignorant on the topic.
How's the public transportation in Bangalore?
And congrats on your marriage-to-be...I hope to be able to say that in
person. AMS has been a good friend to me, too.
Thanks again! Of course, traveling nearly halfway around the globe for
a month while attempting to plan a wedding might not be the wisest idea
I've ever had. Thankfully, a lot of things can be done by email these
days, anyway, and maybe I can spend those two very long plane flights
working on the embroidery that I wanted to do for my wedding dress anyway.
Linda
