Yesterday, I went to SLAC for Cherrill's WIS retirement. WIS has been going strong for 23 years now thanks to Cherrill and the planning team. There are 3 books of archives with articles, pictures and other information, oh what memories. Cherrill introduced me as the founder of the group.
It was so nice to be there. There was also a talk about Emotional Intelligence. I met a new person, Peggy. She is recently retired from sales and her husband is an insurance person. Cherrill is ready for new adventures. She plans to look for work as an experimental physicist, replace her 30 year old carpet, travel, volunteer at the symphony, paint the house and garden. I hope she and Rick can make it up here sometime to visit.
The drive yesterday was very challenging. Not only are the Peninsula and South Bay Area so crowded, it was raining, a good thing, sometimes pouring with windshield wipers on max speed. Went via 5 and 505, went about 40 miles out of my way. Cut through Hayward then over the San Mateo bridge and down 280. Left at 7:15 got there at 11:15. Went to visit Will at St. Bede's then over to SLAC. After the workshop visited with Cherrill for about an hour. Sierra is spending spring break in Morocco with a girlfriend from St. Andrews. Sierra likes it there.
Went to Mom's house for a visit. She is feeling much better. We had a very nice visit. She lives in a great location in SJ, right in the heart of it, no back roads, though, to escape the traffic. So I left at 3:45p and tougher it out via 680 to 80 to 505, road 27, i5, 99, Riego, Fiddyment to home, arriving at 7:15p. along the way rain and a Tornado, very atmospheric skies indeed.
Today it is cloudy and cool. Now off to "layer the day".
