It's getting toward Labor Day again. Val and I have had a pretty busy summer with the trip to New York and then being in Sugar Land for a while to see doctors etc. Today we will be having lunch with some Orange HS buddies from the class of '55. Gosh.
I put together a book on shutterfly since I had a promotion from somewhere. It summarizes the summer and is on a separate post. No idea if this will work.
The rest of the summer includes a trip to Carmel and then a week with the Teigens and friends on a houseboat on Lake Powell. Hope to get some great shots there.

Summer Pics
Here is the book I put together for the summer of 2013. These aren't the greatest photos--most of them from my iPhone. But I had a coupon I had to use so I put together what I had and I think we will enjoy it. Posting it here is mostly an experiment.

Traveling some
It has been a while since I last updated this blog. I see that I was somewhat down at the last post, but that didn't last long. We had a very nice June with lots of sun and little "June Gloom". The July 4 fireworks at La Costa were terrific this year. I guess the San Diego fireworks went off well after last year's fiasco when all of them ignited at once and the tremendous fireball was over within a minute.
Ray and Julie Woosley visited Carlsbad in mid month and we had a wonderful time seeing them. It had been a while since Ray had come to see us in California.
On July 23, we flew to Princeton for a Lexicon board meeting and then on to New York for a few days. Fortunately the weather was kind to us. It had been record breaking hot on the east coast but that stopped when we arrived. We had a great time exploring the big city and seeing a couple of shows and museums. I have always loved to visit New York. There is an excitement that I feel with the energy of the city. While there we saw the most unusual show called "Here Lies Love" about Imelda Marcos. It was a rock musical with the audience standing the whole time and the stage moving around. The cast members also become part of the audience and vice versa. I even danced with Imelda Marcos!! But I confess that Val and I were undoubtedly the oldest hippies there.
Currently we are back in Texas for a few days. I had a couple of doctor and dentist appointments. Six months has passed since my surgery and all seems to be well. The x-rays are good and so I need to see him in another six months and that may be the last visit. I have continued to walk as my major form of exercise and can go well without any of the limiting pain I had before surgery. I do get tired and have some lower back pain if I am up for too long, but that may not be too unusual for someone who is 75.
We head back on Sunday or Monday. We will be driving and hope to spend some time in Tucson on the way to see the Woosley's. Will be hot on this trip across the southwest.
