Dateline, Mesa Arizona, '08



That's Carol, Jack, and Greybeard in the parking lot outside "Chevy's" mexican restaurant in Mesa Arizona a couple weeks ago. Not yet Spring, the weather was pretty much as shown... nearly perfect. Similar to Carol's experience, we got on the jet at Phoenix with an outside temp. of 84, and arrived home facing 28 degrees F. and winds blowing 15 miles per hour. We wanted to turn around immediately. It's easy to see why so many Winter out there. Summers are impossible though... we saw 123 degrees on Big Bubba's car thermometer when we were there in July! Don't give me this "But it's a dry heat!" crap... 123 is miserable by anyone's standard, and in fact is deadly if you're not gettin' enough fluids!

Now, new business...
TwoDogs emails with news the CGHS Alumni Banquet
will be held 26 April this year. I'd like to reiterate how much I enjoy these banquets...
Good food, good entertainment, and they are a wonderful time to meet folks from classes just ahead and just behind ours. Go take a look
at this list. Lots of names of people we all loved when we were young there, and we'll inevitably be adding to that list as time passes. The banquet makes it easy to get together so we can look back and say, "Didn't we have fun the last time we met!?"

UD&CS, Asoka, and those of you from other classes stopping in here to have a look...
PLEASE make note at your blogs and in your emails to classmates of the banquet. Let's all get face-to-face on 26 April!

I promise to be on my best behavior.

Back home again in Indiana





The pictures look great GB. I finally made it home from Phoenix yesterday - Didn't stay out there long enough, its still cold and snowing here.Went to see the Cubs and Angels play - Had a great time, great seats and Cubs lost :(. Had lunch with GB & SJ while they were there and it was good to see them. Looking forward to our next get together. Not sure if we are going to be able to make it to FL. We're gonna try but can't make plans just yet. Had a new great grandson born last night, he was waiting till I got back home before he decided to join this world.
