Speaking of flying- I need to do that next trip- 2 days in the car to get there, then 2 to get back is the real tiring part. I used to make it in 12-14 hours, depending on my wife's diet-coke intake, but I'm too risk averse now (tickets), and can't sit that long, so it's spread over a day and a half now. Flying is would alleviate that to a great extent. Just need to take out a second mortgage.Tunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04930237104692982421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-14885768094656546322016-12-29T08:52:29.141-08:002016-12-29T08:52:29.141-08:00So if the visit gets tiresome Tuna, you can execut...So if the visit gets tiresome Tuna, you can execute a fighting withdrawal to Paul's place, resupply, then either resume the offensive, er, visit, or fall back into California!OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-70999025248157613222016-12-28T21:45:19.726-08:002016-12-28T21:45:19.726-08:00Tuna:

I should write about it I suppose, and maybe I will. By the way, I finally caught up on my Chant reading, including commenting on Juvat's movie list. It's like watching my favorite TV shows. I never miss an episode, but it might take me months to see them all.

At least 30 folks of all ages, from great-grandparents on down. And oh my, the feasts we'd consume. These days, for my family, it's me and my wife, plus our two grown daughters. None of us have seen a large Yuletide gathering in nearly 15 years. And truth be told, those who remain are a pale shadow of what used to be. I know it's the way of all life, but ... darn it.Rev.
