Default I'm leavin' on a jet plane ...

Well, gang ... I'm going to be gone for a week ... I'm sure that if I'd not said anything, no one would've noticed I wasn't around, but the reason I bring it up at all is the posts about snow and winter weather ...

MrsS and I will fly out of SFO in the morning to spend a week in Cabo San Lucas. Too bad we weren't smart enough to have scheduled this in Jan or Feb when the weather is at it's coldest* here, but our plans were made in conjunction with some friends and it was a question of mutual availability ...
Anyway, I'm sure everyone will carry on in my absence ... I'll try to get caught up after I return at the end of next week ...


* yes, I know ... compared to those who deal with snow and real cold, it doesn't GET cold here in winter. For real bone-chilling cold in the SF Bay Area, one needs to visit Candlestick Park on an August evening where the Giants used to give special buttons to anyone hearty enough to stay until the end of an extra-inning night game.

LOL ... just like the inimitable Yogi Berra is credited with saying ... I'll think about you shivering in the NY cold while I'm sunning myself on the beach while smoking a cigar from that famous island not too far south of the US ...

Steve, have a great time and be safe sir. Take many moments to savor those non-domestic Cohibas for me.

Have fun!

Sitting at the bar by the pool, sipping a cool one and smoking a cigar ... 85 degrees, humidity in the upper 60s ... it was a great week and it was tough to leave ...

Already ... that's exactly how I feel ... yes, I am.

we left early on Saturday, the 6th and returned late on Sat the 13th ... one of the shortest weeks of my life ... but, it WAS nice ... we had a great time, weather was terrific, and the place we stayed was ideal. It's been tough adjusting to reality today ...
