It has been a while since i have had anything to post here. After getting back from Vermont and the Adirondacks, Gee 2 spent most of its time in storage. For Thanksgiving we were invited to Malena and Dan’s. We decided that it would make some sense to move Gee 2 to their yard so we could have some space and add to their sleeping quarter. Then it seemed reasonable to leave it there until time to start out winter travels at the end of December.
As I write these words, Dec 11, I am on AirTran flight 60 bound for Los Angeles to visit with Yechiel and Miriam and the boys. Or as Carol might say the boys, but we will spend time with the parents as well. Some family news; Yechiel has left academia and is in early times as a life insurance salesman. I wonder where he got that idea.
Our winter itinerary has some very definite stops and then gets really fuzzy. On or about December 29 we will drive the tow’d from Rochester to Covesville for an extended visit. They are leaving for Mexico on January 10 so we will depart on the 8th or 9th and drive through to St Petersburg, FL for a visit with Carol’s brother and sister-in-law. On the 13th we will drive the tow’d to Miami airport, with a stop in Boynton Beach to visit Aunt Evelyn, in preparation for a flight to Havana, Cuba with a group from the JDC. Upon our return on Sunday the 17th we will drive directly back to St Petersburg. Our current plan is to head west on the 20th. From there on it is really fuzzy. No route plan yet, and no specific dates to be anyplace.
Travels this Fall have included a driving trip to NYC for the JDC Board Meeting in October which included a stop at Peg and Jon Kerner’s in Pound Ridge. 
Jon was my college roommate back in the dark ages and the four of us were good friends when we lived in Manhattan in the late ‘60s. We had not seen each other in many years and it was wonderful to have some time with them in there new house. Jon was always a collector, but he has become a major Wedgewood collector and there are hundreds of pieces displayed in the living room, and other places too. The drive in the Prius was uneventful and it was really thrilling to drive 350 miles and stop to buy 8 gallons of gasoline for the trip home. No comparison to the coach, $200 to get to Dan’s!
I am in a chatty mood with no real time constraints so I may just wander on for a bit.
It is now December 23 and there is two feet of snow in Virginia 
and very little on the ground here in Rochester, so much for our plans to get Gee 2 out of the weather. We plan on driving down there on Tuesday the 29th, weather permitting.
