Travails of travel make being home a pleasure
We just got back from spending two weeks in Southern California -- San Diego for five days and Los Angeles for the remainder.In San Diego, we depended on travel guides and brochures for our decisions of what to do. We enjoyed the weather and the compact nature of the city. Public transportation and taxis are easy to use and inexpensive, so it made traveling to Old Town, Balboa Park and the Gas Lamp district pleasant and stress-free.From San Diego we took a train to L.A. to attend an Elderhostel about the art collections and great museums of the Los Angeles area.One of our early thoughts was to take the Amtrak train from Kelso to San Diego and then go by air back to LA and home. The cost was more than we wanted to spend, however, and 30 hours on a train seemed excessive. Instead, we took the train from San Diego to L.A.

Lady of the lamp
She may not have had the powers of the genie in Aladdin's lamp, but the "dancing" lady in Elizabeth Gerner's hanging lamp was certainly magical to Gerner's grandson. When he was 5, the boy would sit mesmerized as oil flowed through thin tubes surrounding the lady in the lamp to give the impression that she was dancing. Gerner's grandson, now 19, may no longer carry a torch for the lady, but the lamp is still a fixture in her Albertson living room. Gerner, 78 and a retired elementary school secretary, recently shed some light on the lamp with Newsday writer Daniel Bubbeo:
How did the lady dance?
