Rafting

Planning a one-day trip with my brother-in-law, Colin, and my mother-in-law, KB, on the Tuolumne River in June. This should be fun. I've rafted in New Zealand and Alaska, but--oddly enough--never in Califronia! And our lake house is less than an hour from the put-in. This is a world-class river. Wow!

The Dead

Bought tickets for The Dead at Shoreline tonight. Fourteen years later, I never thought I'd be saying that! Of course, it's not the Grateful Dead, with Jerry Garcia at the helm, but I expect they'll be able to evoke him, if not invoke him.

Going with m'pards Jay, Kelly, and Bob. Once more into the breach, dear friends, once more!

Hopefully, the aforementioned doomsday fears won't materialize. Ish....

Pandemic fears

We escaped Mexico just before the flu hit....not sure yet whether this is going to be a pandemic like 1918 or just a mild outbreak. I just keep thinking about The Stand, which starts with a flu-like disease spreading around the world.

All we can do is wait, watch, and hope. And if things start to look bad, prepare...

Back From San Pancho

Returned yesterday evening from San Pancho, Nayarit, Mexico, where we had been vacationing. We had a nice long stay there, and we're all still adjusting to being back home again.

And tomorrow's Easter, which is a pretty big deal for Juliet.... Candice and I just got finished playing Easter Bunny :-)
