Tried again, made it, last day, Point Lobos. Foggy cool perfect through mid-day. Never enough rocks to climb on. Locale like I remember it, blessed. Lots of people here and there. Popular spot. Great views, great rocks, great water. Excitement on the way home, safe arrival, given the circumstances, all good. Sleep well? That’s the …

My work life, jobs shifted, a position I accepted, then …
Reflections for Father’s Day

Flag Day, ‘85
