Some of my thoughts, memories and things:

• Egypt- October 2010- the first trip I took when I retired.

• Egrets- my favorite bird.  They are so pre-historic.
• England- I've been there several times and it's so easy to get around.
• Easter- I hate this holiday.
• East Coast, USA- I have driven the entire rout of Interstate 95.
• Eastern State Penitentiary- PHL- what an interesting museum.

• Elkton, MD- the largest city in Cecil County, where I live.
• Ellicot City Brewery- MD- go here if you are in the neighborhood.
• Evil Genius Brewery- PA- good beers.
• Evolution Brewery- MD
• Ethel Reimer- my grandmother.  She died when she was 52 so I never knew her.
• Eagle Scout Ceremoniess- I have been to several of these ceremonies and every one is an accomplishment.  Any time I read a resume that indicated that the candidate is an Eagle Scout, he automatically got an interview.
• Eiffel Tower- Paris, France- 1979- I can't remember how I climbed this tower.
• Eleanor Roosevelt's House- NY- she was a woman ahead of her time.

• Empire State Building- I visited this place fro the first time 1963.
• Eddie Izzard- he is so damn funny.
• Endless Summer- the movie- 1965- I thought this movie was spectacular.  I watched it 50 years later and was stunned at how sexist it was.
• Everglade National Park- FL- 2010
• Eastern Bluebird- I've seen one in VA.
• Egyptian Goose- I've seen a whole flock of these birds.
• Everest- I am obsessed with this mountain.

• Erie- I knew a few people from Erie and they described their city as "Dreary Erie, the Mistake by the Lake". I've only been here once but I liked the city.
• Emergency Room- I think I've found myself here at least three times.
• Eclipse- I watched the eclipse this summer, 2018.
• Ecuador- first stop on my way to Galapagos in 2002.

• Elephant Ears- "a flaky French pastry with brown sugar, cinnamon and pecans." I sold hundreds of them and said this line thousands of times when I worked at the Crust and Crumb Bakery (NJ).
• Ed Sullivan Show- I remember when the Beatles came on his show.  The whole world was watching.
