Typical Non-sense

Well, after spending a week at Peter and Ruma's and returning to spend another three weeks with my ex, I return to their house where we take off to spend a weekend in the country with Marsha Thelin at what she has dubbed, "Summer Camp." Meeting with Marsha after so many years gives us a chance to bond affectionately. I now include Ruma and her in my short list of close friends. We play a game of scrabble with Peter, after ingesting some of my cookies (these have been acclaimed by quite a few other people).

We have a great time together in just the silly way that's truly meaningful and talk about our oncoming trip to Europe for the Mahamilana in September. It will be interesting to see Marsha in France!!

While I am there, Marsha solves one of her friend's most urgent problems in needing to find someone to housesit her cats: me. I leave to help my daughter move and spend three nights with her before returning to Diane's to perform the necessary operations in San Raphael to keep Cozy and Tasha (hope these are the right names) comfortable for the next 8 or 9 days and buy some luggage and firm up the rest of my internet tickets... Only at Marsha's house has my internet connection been complete. In San Raphael, Diane does not even have a computer and the local library is closed for restoration of some of their reading rooms until after I leave. So, I drive to sit outside the library where I can pick up a signal...

Also get a chance to meet with Carolyn Nieman, whose internet travel experience is impressive and find that there is indeed someone else out there with the tireless energy I have in addressing my trip.
