The Fantasy Lunch

I have probably already told you what I finally missed about the UK. Well, today I got to do it! I rode my bike up to Squaw Valley, went to the Irish Pub and sat outside supping a pint while reading a music mag I had brought with me- Alone! It was utterly civilized. Dena and Alexander turned up just as I was mellowing out. We had a nice lunch and the Alexander and I rode back (a gentle downhill) to the house.

Late afternoon, Alexander had puppy love with Bonnies new dog Missie and then Bonnie, August and the dogs headed back to Auburn leaving me to set fire to the chicken on the gas BBQ (out of practice).
