Heading West

I'll be heading to California bright and early in the morning and will be there for two solid weeks. I've got my list ready for all the things No. 1 will need in her new kitchen; plus, we're going to Yosemite for a couple of days and will be staying in a lovely spa/hotel in Sonoma for two days after that.

I'll try to post pictures and adventures when I can, but until then, enjoy a bit of Squirrel Nut Zippers, one of my favorites:

Have a fabulous time Robyn. I'll look forward to seeing some pics of Yosemite - a place that I always wanted to visit but now probably never will.

When it gets cold like this, I start to think about Christmasy things like listening to Nat King Cole and decorating the tree. It's ironic because I am offended when retailers start pushing holiday stuff early, but I don't mind my own private celebrations.

The Ultimate Storyteller—in Life AND in Death

I wrote about The Autobiography of Mark Twain in yesterday's edition of Small Town Newspaper. You can read it here , if you want.
