Vestry Graduate

I am no longer part of the Vestry at Christ Church Norcross. I served my full term as the Buildings and Grounds liaison. It was three years. There were a lot of items to deal with over the years.

When Kobe Bryant died last week (taking off less than a mile from our apartment and crashing in a familiar place just north of LA), it was another reminder that this is the place where the megastars live.

I wear only a sport coat everyday. I have used an umbrella maybe once. It is common to get a small shower (or a very heavy dew) in the night and it will be dried up early in the morning. It is low humidity. Angie and I went for a short drive to Chino (inland) today. We had the top down on the freeway up to 90 mph (or so)....

A couple more pics of jewel. Gracie and Jewel are getting along. We were fearful, that they may not. But I think we are past the tipping point. They are sleeping close to each other and are sharing a litter box.
