On the Road Again

Been a while since we posted...it's been busy.

We got out to see S&P&S&N for their housewarming and anniversary party in Merced, and it was another blissful day at the pool. They even put my name on one of the floaties! Slight drawback was that the "permanent marker" was no match for Coppertone Bug & Sun (SPF 15 and DEET), so I briefly had some very fetching black marker tattoos.

I'm in Birmingham (UK) this week, and would entertain you with a photo of my hotel room & environs, except I forgot to bring my camera hookup cable. It's a nice hotel room that looks out over trees and...another hotel. I'm rather more interested in checking out the pool at some point. And, while it is a very nice hotel room, it turns out we are some distance from the city-center, so I'm planning to be healthfully familiar with the hotel accoutrements before Friday.
