table with a view

This was the view across the bay to the San Diego skyline from our table at the Coronado Il Fornaio. I met my long-time (50 years) friend for lunch today and we got all caught up, even though I saw her at our high school reunion only 6 months ago. I need not reiterate here all that has happened in the world since then. We talked about all of it.

But before that I had to make an assault on commerce to replace missing under-garments. Macy's was almost deserted at 10 AM this morning. I was able to dash in, choose a few tasteful items, and get out without too much trouble. I will now be able to appear fully dressed (and trussed) until my old stand-bys arrive in January.

Now it's time to pack up and get ready to take off early tomorrow morning. The Patient has whipped up a big pot of turkey soup for our dinner tonight and to take with us on the road tomorrow. If we get away early ~ there was dense fog this morning so it may be a bit later ~ we will make it to Tucson by about 3 PM. There may be internet connection at our hotel. If not, it will be next Friday before I can get back to the blog. By that time there will be 45 days left until Inauguration Day. But as of today,
