Life of Wry

A couple of days ago, this squirrelly fellow was hanging out on our back deck, crawling all over the hammock stand — pulled in for the wet winter. He let me take a bunch of photos, then I suggested he go over and hang out with the Buddha… which, surprisingly he did!

They make a nice pair.

In unrelated news:

As I write this, I’ve completed my packing, checked in for my flight, and filled out my customs form for entry to Guatemala. I’ve organized my documents and money and whatnot… and am pretty ready to go! Additionally — sometimes as a exercise in procrastination and sometimes in the process of packing — I cleaned out and/or organized 5 cabinets, a set of shelves, and most of a closet, netting a whole nuther huge bag of stuff that I took to Goodwill yesterday. I also cleaned out the refrigerator and tidied up an already uber tidy house. Just because. My calendar’s clear for the next two weeks and my “upon return” list is written out. So damn organized. Sally and Ron arrived this late afternoon; we just got back from dinner, and Ron has now left and is driving back up to Tuolumne. Sally’s doing her own fine-tuning of her bags and we’ll leave at about 7:30 in the morning for San Francisco. 

Adventures await.

I’m going to miss Jim.
