We have been married 59 years, today.  An oft told story, my roommate Jon Kerner was supposed to be my Best Man, but he chose to marry Peggy on the very same day, 400 miles away. He is no longer with us but we cherish the memory and the continued connection to Peggy.

We celebrated last night, the 20th, in Las Vegas, maybe the last place we would choose, but there you have it. We decided to visit our grandson in Salt Lake City and the way the schedule worked a stop in Las Vegas made some sort of sense. We pulled into las Vegas midafternoon coming from Redlands Truck and Motorhome. It would have been an easy 4 hours were it not for some major construction which added at least 15 to 30 minutes. We set up and had a snack before calling for a Lyft to take us to NY NY for the show. It was an anniversary trip so I paid for front row VIP tickets. The stage is a thrust design so we were right next to a stair that the cast used to get on and off the stage and often to perform right there on the floor in front of us – not more than 2 feet away! It seemed that no one really escaped that kind of closeness as the entire hall seemed to be the stage. 

The comic, a throwback to the Catskills made his standup by picking out audience members. When he picked on Carol he got what he was looking for, a 59th anniversary and some fund stories. Some of his stuff does not bare repeating.  We loved the show and would certainly recommend it to anyone who has not seen 14 variants on Circe du Solei. We cabbed back to the coach and after a good nights sleep set off for Salt Lake City.

I misjudged and misread my mapping software. We were on the road for 8 hours and 7 hours was on the move. Mostly we were moving right along although naturally there were some construction slowdowns. We rolled into the SLC KOA at 7:30 Mountain Time. and  by 8:30 we were set up and had eaten something – peanut butter and jelly for me. 

We violated our drive time standard of  two 4 hour shifts and done. After each of us did 2 hours, I took the wheel for the what turned out to be 4 more hours. Somehow I was energized and did not fell exhausted as we pulled into the KOA.

Good Night
