Just got back today from a two-week photo trip by myself. Much needed.

Started out by going to a friend's photo opening in San Fran, then traveling with her for a few days (Carmel and Monterey). After dropping her off at the SF airport, I drove down to my folks for a couple days -- good to see them.

Then to Joshua Tree National Park, then Death Valley, then driving home via Hwy 395 along the east side of the Sierras. Very cold, very hot, very beautiful. I watched the sun come up every morning and watched it go down. Enough stars to make all my wishes on. Got most of the mold dried out between the ears...the desert is always good for that.

Have not seen the boys yet -- I'll pick them up tomorrow from their mom's. What did I miss...Alex broke his arm and has a cast. He also got his upper braces today -- we are scheduling some oral surgery for him during the last week of February.

I really needed the time away -- I feel renewed and ready to face the world.

The landlord has not got the heater working yet -- so it goes!
