I'm Back

I have returned from sunny southern California. I had a nice trip visiting my family. I also got the chance to spend time with a dear friend whom I have known since I was 5. The weather was beautiful--sunny and mid to upper 70s every day. It was quite a shock to the system. When I got on the plane in Minneapolis it was 40. When I landed it was 79. I didn't get much time to read while I was there, but on the plane going and returning I read The Sea, the Sea by Iris Murdoch. I am enjoying it very much. Thanks to everyone who made encouraging comments about Iris Murdoch and this book in particular.
