We’re at my mom’s house in Pocatello, Idaho.
I’m writing from her computer running an old Netscape under Windows 98, where the editing looks unfamiliar and clunky, and my style is definitely cramped!
We flew out to San Francisco for my 45th high school reunion.
We stayed overnight with my college roommate in Livermore.
The day after the reunion we drove out to the Point Reyes National Seashore, where we did a lot of pretty strenuous walking.
From there we drove up to coast to look at a tide pool near Fort Bragg.
I drove through a redwood tree near Leggett.
We cut across the Central Valley in the coolest weather I’ve ever experienced there, took a quick loop around the Colusa National Wildlife Refuge, and walked on a half-mile trail at the rest area at Donner Summit on I-80.
We got across Nevada without dropping so much as a nickel in a slot machine, but did buy three CDs at the Western Folk Life Center in Elko.
Now we’re taking it easy in the Gate City, with massages down the street and relaxing soaks in the outdoor pools at Lava Hot Springs.
