I’m Home
February 23, 2024
Sally and I landed.. I don’t know.. a bit before midnight. It was a smooth re-entry as we’d gone through customs in Dallas many hours earlier. Ron drew the short straw and was the pick up driver. (Lol… he volunteered, as Jim had driven us down to San Francisco to start the trip.) I slept most of the way to Davis, which made it seem like a short drive home.
Ron and Sally dropped me off at the end of the driveway at 1:30am. I slowly rolled my suitcase up to the front door, let myself in, and first thing I saw was this.
Love that Jim.

Jim had actually heard Ron’s car as soon as it hit A Street. Ron drives a Dodge Challenger Hellcat, 6.2liter, Hemi engine…. which means nothing to me, but I can tell you it accelerates out of an airport like nobody’s business and makes quite a bit of noise as it vrooms down your street at 1:30 in the morning.
Which means: Jim knew I was home. And duly greeted me. A nice homecoming.
