Barbara, the string project brings to mind a family story. For years my wife told me about a "large ball of string" in a restaurant in Maryland, where her sister resides. Every time we went to visit her sister (we live in Florida, a two day trip) there was an excuse why we could not visit the restaurant to see "the large ball of string" . Finally a few years ago we made reservations, and actually got to go to Housner's Restaurant, for a good meal, and to see "t l b o s" ..they told us is was in the basement which was being renovated, and we could not go there..finally the manager, when told how far we had come, agreed to turn on the lights and let us see it. I would say it was about 6 feet in diameter, and definitely the largest ball of string I'd ever seen, but I doubt I would have driven for two days just to see it. The funny part of the story, is the collection of millions of dollars worth of famous paintings and sculptures that are displayed in the restuarant, which I was never told about...only the large....well, you know! The food, by the way is wonderful.
