Going back to Callie...
I had a wonderful time in Callie; although the hassle of traveling across the country almost requires a second vacation. There is much I could say, but I'm tired, so I'll share some pictures and highlights. I spent the first part of the trip hanging out with Jay:
We went thrifting, played tennis, watched sporting events and drank. Jay is going to every bar on State Street ("Jay's March to the Sea") and I was able to take part in a small portion of this epic journey (see above photo). We also saved Jay's much beloved Star Tac from being decommissioned:
Sammie and Ted came back into town by Monday, so we spent some time with them:
I had one of my favorite meals in the world--tuna sushi and a Santa Barbara Roll from Edo Masa :
I also enjoyed the beautiful views found in Santa Barbara:
Then it was off to Bass Lake to join Julie, Bob, Vinnie and Michael (plus 6 other families). Here are Vinnie and Michael:
I also met with Sarah and Jon (dissertation co-chairs) and it went really, really well. And, after many years of frustrating losses to Vicki at Scrabble--many of them last minute come from behind wins--I finally kicked her ass. Victory is finally mine.
Quotes of the trip:
“Her ass is too tight to be a graduate student.” --Jay
“They’ve prettified it for the Yuppies, but I don’t think they’re coming.” --Ted on Lowell, MA.
The End.
