Thanks to Nick for keeping my little Indian butt warm at night. Great food… from brownies :) to cupcakes and pleasurable company, wine and cognac. I mean all those who joined. Nick and I had a great day Sunday, a nice lazy morning with Rich & Rosie combined with a gluteus shaping jaunt to North Chalone Peak. Becky, great organization again. Excited to be finally adding up some serious miles on my hiking shoes. Till the next...
