As you can see, I spent yesterday and a chunk of today making this blog available, so that anyone who wants to can see what’s been happening without my having to update a lot of folks individually.
Someone asked about the picture: It’s the Seal Rocks, just off San Francisco, near the Sutro Baths. Most years we’ve spent the last week in October at Seal Rock Inn, where this is one of our standard views. We didn’t get to go this year, so I put up the picture as a general lament.
I think I mentioned that one of my nieces is moving to Arizona next weekend, and I really wanted to see her before she left. We’d planned to have dinner together last night, but there was a blizzard in the area, and the New Jersey contingent would have had a hard time making their way in, so we rescheduled for this afternoon. Today was clear and crisp and amazingly beautiful. It was a lovely reunion.
Thinking of you, Mara. Thank you for the blog. You are the “captain of this ship” and all of us, your crew (haha), will take our cues from you on what you and/or Marty need from us. Your diary is a good way to help us stay involved without being intrusive, but please just ask whenever you need to ask for something.
