Road Weary

I haven't been here because I've been everywhere else. Starting last Saturday and continuing on through the week it seems I've been all across the state of California.

I entrusted Sim with your care in my absence and it seems he was AWOL with me. I don't know what his excuse was but as for me, I was with family for the last 5 1/2 days. Most of them good, some of it very tough.

We said goodbye to Pappy--my 95 year old grandfather--on Wednesday in San Diego. Assuming I have the time and the emotional energy I'll share some of the days spent with the Sennewald clan but for now--having arrived home late on Sunday afternoon--there is nothing for it but to fall into the couch, on to one or both of the puppies and pass out.
