13 September 2012

Checking In. . . . In Hermosa Beach[More:] right now at my mom's. The bad news is the we took her to the eye dr. yesterday and she was told that her macular degeneration is the "dry" kind and there is nothing to be done about it, so she will slowly lose her vision (she can't read anymore).

Started with a night in a motel in Mt Shasta, and we were walking around and ran into a friend from Eugene, so that was cool. We just hung out.

Then drove to SF and quickly got freaked out by driving in the City but had some wonderful meals, including Gracia Madre, a vegan Mexican place on Mission, and our usual Thai Time, off Clement and around 9th or so. Stayed with an old friend, an eccentric therapist who is sort of crazy in her own right, but several great dinner parties.

Then Ojai, when in the first night I was given an Guild D4 by an old friend, and had another great dinner, then the next night, at his ex-wife's and another great evening.

I have been travelling with a case of various Oregon wines, so evenings have been groovy.

Now at the beach and Daughter is flying in tonight. Sort of subdued, with my mom's prognosis, plus her general upper 80's maladies.

Also grey and very muggy, so sort of ugly weather here.

I have been keeping up with email on my phone, but finally on my brother's laptop so I can actually write something.

How has everyone been?
Sounds like you are having an interesting time! So sorry to hear about your mom's health problems. I hope the rest of your trip is pleasant and the weather improves.

Not much going on around here. We are busy talking about our vaginas a thread below this one.

Bummer about your mom's eyes, danf. Sounds like it's somewhat balanced out by some great evenings.

Staying busy here, but cooler temps have made a welcome arrival - maybe fall is here after all!
