Lunch Was Good and Let the Packing Begin

I just returned from having lunch with a college (Millersville University of Pennsylvania) friend of mine. We met half way in Westminster, MD at a Panera. We both ordered the tuna salad from different order takers and then sat down and chatted for over two and a half hours, like we had been doing this for the past thirty-three years! I guess that's the mark of a good friendship.

Richard and I are leaving for San Diego tomorrow morning. He has business there and I'll be having pleasure. We'll also be visiting our friends, Margie and Dave who moved out there in May. We had planned to surprise them at a restaurant (George's Ocean Terrace in La Jolla) we all enjoy, but their daughter, who was in on the three-month scheme, emailed me a few days ago, upset that Dave had been given an assignment in Toronto for the week. So we had to tell them we were coming. (Come to think of it, maybe he found out and was trying to leave town...) Anyhoodle (sorry, Jay), we'll be gone for a bit enjoying Cali, the gorgeous Pacific, and seeing our friends. I'll catch up with you next week.
