back from the get together in san diego

it's so great to hang with folks you've known, and who've known you, all of your adult life. my college roommates and I met at freshman orientation, u of minnesota, in the summer of 1960. we were hardly in contact for 20+ years, we've been meeting every 5 years but i expect we will meet more frequently as we get older because we're aware that one of these days, one of us will go missing.

san diego's Imperial Beach was a good place to hang, not much in the way of distractions, but great views of the ocean, good walking, and we did go to the Zoo and the Hotel del Coronado. There was an amazingly good bistro across the street run by a Polish immigrant and her husband. I'm eager to try making dill pickle soup.
