Humboldt Vacationing

April 10, 2002

Well, I just got back from my alumni reunion in Humboldt. The boys of EZ know how to throw a banquet. It was four days of non-stop hiking, partying, and socializing with old friends. I think I managed to get 6 hours of sleep in 72 hours. I am just beginning to recover.

The only downside was the loss of Marino's in a fire last year. There's nothing left but an empty lot...very depressing. An old haunt from my days of college, it was a place I loved to go to for happy hour.

I was saying that I am too old to keep doing this every year, but I know I will still be doing this until it takes me a full week to recover. In the course of a few days I made vacation plans that will last the entire summer. I am all about vacation planning now.

I also took my first ride in a Unimog. My friend Bruce just picked one up. It really is the ultimate SUV. I must get one.

I'll be posting some pictures tonight.
