it was nice seeing and catching up with Steve and Mike last night. and again with Mike this morning along with the pumpkin bread and hot chocolate sitting outside Starbucks in the morning sun. 10 minutes at Trader Joe's and back to Mike's hotel as he had to fly back to the freezing east this morning. for me, it was back on the bus to home and to the gym for another good workout. after the gym i finished wrapping Mother's birthday gift and took it to the post office (i almost stopped by the market to get a dr. pepper but will wait until tomorrow) and then i had to laundry again (workout clothes) and finally a late lunch/early dinner. now as 8pm approaches i am starting to fade. here are some photos from today . . . and one not from today.
