akirluHal and I are back in Seattle after a long weekend in Gualala, on the California coast. We went to drink scotch, socialize, and generally celebrate Art Widner's 90th birthday by having a Ditto. The weather was generally glorious and the absence of both internet and phones made it seem like a real vacation. I find I'm still mostly in my visual head -- I seem to have settled there sometime during the house hunt -- and so the writing words thing still feels awkward, even now that I'm back online. Pictures failing to be caught by thousand wordses. Is too much, even to sum up.
We drove both up and back. Fractals would have been discovered a lot sooner if Cambridge U. were located on the upper California coast.
Snapshot: Sarah running hell for leather along the tide line, chasing waves and pausing to dig madly under flotsam and dislodged kelp. This is the picture of canine joy.
Snapshot: A 7-foot, chartreuse green Shrek among the chainsaw-carved, redwood burl Saskwatchi at a roadside store, tucked into yet another of many dangerous curves along 101. This is the picture of up-to-the minute tourist tat.
Snapshot: Ian Sorenson kvetching about, and eventually disbelieving the sea otters that dove before he looked. This is the picture of Scottish outdoorsmanship. (The picture of American outdoorsmanship was just down the balustrade: Jack Bell swearing up and down that the several buzzards launching from the cliff just up the estuary were in fact golden eagles.)
Actual pictures, mostly taken by Hal, will be up on Flickr by and by.
