So, since I can't show you the pre-museum activities, I'll just have to tell you. We decided yesterday that we wouldn't really try to coordinate breakfast and we didn't. I reached the Breakfast Club about the same time as the Rowlands and Don and about the same time they filled the last table and started a waiting list. The four Rowlands were seated at a six-top and invited Don & me to use the two spare seats. The others decided to skip the crowd and some, at least, skipped breakfast completely. Last night's Golden Lamb dinner made that easy to do. Having learned that Sharonville, a community we'd be passing through, was holding their big annual car show today, we decided to allow ourselves enough time to check out part of the show if convenient parking was found. It wasn't and we didn't. Instead, we entered the museum parking lot with about two hours to spare. That wasn't a sudden discovery, of course, but I could not think of a two hour diversion that I felt safe so I simply headed to the museum with thoughts of a parking lot conference. The conference produced a couple of plans and one of them actually worked. We spent our surplus time on the Kentucky side of the river under the suspension bridge. When one of the Newport Ducks came by, I took my single picture. Jennifer, Chris, & Kent took many more.

Plans are progressing on moving the museum to its new larger space. The new location will also be more prominent. Cincinnati is very lucky to have the museum here and I'm among those who hope the increased visibility will translate to increased support. The American Sign Museum is a real treasure.
