Two Years Ago Today…

Not much in the way of happenings today so I figured I’d jump in the time machine and go back a couple years in which a whole lotta not much was going on May 15, 2004: Susan and I finally got up around 10 a.m. (love having nothing to do on a lazy Saturday morning), …

Weekend Wrap

Saturday was another episode of Get Outta The House, with Susan and I deciding to make a return visit the the San Gabriel Mountains and hike the Sam Merrill Trail, which we had seen snaking and switchbacking its way up across the canyon during our nature walk up to Inspiration Point a couple weeks previous. …
