November 28 - View From There and Here


Time to hit the aerial road -- after


pool; an


incredibly sumptuous brunch buffet with Bette, George, and Ann


(re-encountering the Bells); and last views of and


from their residence, on the only pristine blue-sky day of the journey.


So adieu


to

loved ones,


and


into the security mill


and


waiting room


drill (careful to sit in a strategic spot this time within sight and sound of departure goings-on).


We have liftoff over dark-spangly Pennsylvanian vistas,


with sleepy seatmates (what a contrast) and


attentive stewardi.


At last the more concentrated -- yet surrounded by open space -- lights of California.


Touchdown.


Hallelujah, re-uniting with Harriet, and finishing the editing of Psalm 41 (27 pages total).
