We are ensconced at my son’s home in California. Yesterday was a bit of a marathon trip, but it is pleasant to travel with Eileen. We didn’t miss any flights but it was a longer journey of three legs from Grand Rapids to Chicago to Denver to Ontario.

I managed to sleep in slightly this morning to about 7:30 local time, but that is significantly less sleep than I usually get. It has been fun catching up Cynthia and the kids this morning. I wasn’t able to find time to study Greek yet but that is of little importance. Nicholas and I are already doing some talking about music. Good times.

I spent a lot of time on my tablet yesterday. Consequently I have links.
