Excellent writing, John! We too, feel the thrill when we see Mount Shasta after a year’s absence. We agree that Oceanside and Carlsbad have been loved to death. I like your idea of bringing your own fridge/freezer on the road with you. We might give something like that a try. Given my super gluten sensitivity and Bill’s allergy to nuts, we do prefer eating our own food as well. Would love to get you and Brenda over and talk about how we banish the ghosts of the dark night of the solo, which wake me up in the wee hours and get my mind spinning.
Congrats, Brenda! Always good to shoo away a ghost. But … no picture of the shirt?
Thanks, Rebecca. You're the second person to ask about the shirt. I'll attend to that.
Thank you for this interesting story with those wonderful pictures embedden. 🙏 & 'Hats off!' to your wife for her mettle & sewing your shirt.👍

Thank you so much, Kate!
Thank you for sharing this story. Congratulations to Brenda fir her race finish, an
d for the shirt. I recently made my husband a linen shirt and it seems like a gesture of love.
Thank you, Michelle, and congrats on the shirt!
I also caught the Flock of Seagulls reference… there were too many possible song lyrics for me to pick them out. Bravo.
That was the hardest one!
Thank you, Tamra!
