Wow, it's been a while.... been busy with work and a new laptop. I'm using it right now, on batteries, while sitting at a picnic table in Yosemite. Why? because it puts me within reach of the only unsecured wifi hotspot in the valley (grin). One of the employee trailers has wifi, it's part of their overall system here in the valley, but inexplicably, they didn't secure it. Lucky me! Anyhow, I'm here in Yosemite on a 6-day trip, a 2-bus move with Lenny. Got an 8th grade group, Lenny's younger daughter is in the class, and on the bus. Lenny and I are sharing a cabin... a little too "cozy" for my preferences, but it's going well. We've gotten in a hike every day, and plan another one tomorrow. We leave Friday to return to San Diego, and I'm hoping to have the weekend off. Guess I'll find out soon enough.....
