Went on a trip to central Pennsylvania yesterday for my better half’s aunt’s 90th birthday. She has a huge family of 6 of their own children and the number of grandchildren and now great grandchildren are staggering. It was just the adults today which was nice and special. Rarely do we get a chance to talk and laugh like we did today.

I did the driving up and back. We also stopped at a cemetery to pay our respects to a niece who passed from cancer way to early and an uncle in-law who was special to me because he was also a career newspaperman who worked his life at the Philadelphia Inquirer. We used to trade war stories and both of us had an endless supply and would laugh and share a time in history that was special.

Six hours on the road is enough for me. I’ve done more but at a younger age. I’m sure I could do more, but I’d have to take stretching breaks.

Just a great and relaxed Sunday ahead. Some grilling, a quick ride later with the top down. Maybe some football and exercise.

Looking forward to a grand week ahead and many accomplishments and adventures. Paddling with the current would be nice.
