Wow Jim, such an incredible number of physical problems you have both overcome. I wish you and your wife continued healing and peace. Merry Christmas and keep writing!

Mary, thanks. As the story said, we are getting back to normal and that is all we want. We are enjoying Sedona right now. First time we have done this during Christmas. The weather has been great for late December at 4500 feet in AZ. Gotta get out there on the walking trails!

Merry Christmas.

Yesterday I drove from my present home in Solana Beach to San Carlos up 101, not I5. It brought back so many memories of my youth. Central Coastal California from Santa Barbara to Gilroy remains beautiful. South of the former and north of the

latter have been laid waste by urban sprawl. Tragic.

Harold, I have driven the coast highway many times and agree that it is one of the best anywhere. Depends on who you get stuck behind. I’ve also done it on a motorcycle a few times — a totally different experince.
