A Day with Caleb

A day with Caleb en route to Travis and Tammy's wedding.   I stayed in his apartment, met his roommates, did a Costco run, then off to the Wedding with stops at a local taco stand and glasses repair shop.  At night we watch Batman on IMAX -- a pretty good movie.   The next day was the wedding, moved in doors due to inclement weather.  Caught up with many acquaintances from Sacramento.

The final day was a tour of the new Structural Engineering building at UCSD. Then, the serendipitous, almost chance encounter, with Dan Casey -- the pilot on my return trip.  We had dinner, before I arrive home to Pearl and the kids.

  

Angora Lake

A journey on the path less traveled brought us to Angora Lake.  On the narrow, twisty road, occasionally unpaved (always wondering if we were lost) we found a sweet spot -- two pristine lakes surround by rustic cabins.  The perfect combination of off season, yet perfect weather made for an unexpected paradise.

Up at Lisa's cabin for the weekend, we also saw the Lins at the Marriott.  Busy weekends with friends, and moments of solitude make for a happy life.  Once in Tahoe, I had a glimpse of the mountain stars on the clear moonless night.  Like on the ship, the full grandeur of the universe before my eyes.  I need to remember the stars.
