Well my friend Khol called, and insisted I (we) need much badly time away (no away from home in a long time). So he did it. Purchased airline tickets for a weekend to Palm Springs, the first weekend in May. Ahhhhhh warmth!!! Weather in the Bay Area, as in most parts of the country, has been abnormally cool. So a quick injection of 100F heat will feel good! Dang! Off to the gym !!!
