The morning drive to Jikoji was stunning. We are having stellar sunrises right now (see what I did there). Lauren came along for what amounted to hours on-site. We got there early, staked out my favorite spots, and walked around until things began. Jesse Dow gave a great talk, one that Lauren called inspirational. The board meeting followed, ran long, but went well all the same. Back down the hill, we picked up a board for the pantry shelf and new fluorescent light bulbs for my mom's kitchen. Mark cut the wood for me while working on the deck for Howes Your Corree. I have been doing similar planning for our own backyard. Aqui dinner at mom's, along with my cursing the existence of fluorescent lights. I have always disliked them. Rummikub at the end of the day, alongside an elliptical effort, and a sincerely expressed gratitude by Tomery for the years of Dodge Ridge trips. He starts there tomorrow on the Medical Patrol team for the season.
