I drove through the Sierras yesterday and Paul is no doubt enjoying the snow. They have received a ton of it over the past few days.

Just got back. Unbelievable snow. It snowed four or five times a day, real blizzard conditions each night.

Just chilled; my little girl got her first look and taste of nice powder when she took her first ski lesson, too.

Got away for a couple of hours on Sunday night to meet Bill Yantz, Forum member for whom I restored the AZ '69 365OS. Great guy--we could've talked all evening about things musical and Rickenbackers, too. Delivered the guitar, since we were in the same area and he's gonna be stuck there for 5 weeks on a training seminar--at least he's got something to come home to after school every day!

As I was coming down the mountain this afternoon, there was another blizzard moving in. Got home to Marin an hour ago and it's sunny, clear, and 65 F. Home sweet home...

Who is the guy in the ski-yumpin' picture, Kent? It sure ain't me!

Thanks, Kent. I live on the Left Coast, amd not a Universalist/Unitarian, and definitely don't dress as squarely as my namesake.

But I look more like the monkey.

With glasses.

haaaa... well, at least we know there is someone else lurking out there using your name! Yea, that bearded dude doesn't look like a guitar player to me either.

I did not get a chance to say goodbye so welcome back instead.

Kent, not to mention, he also seems far too opinionated...

Brian, thanks. It was the blink of an eye, in kosmik terms.

Paul, glad you made it down the hill safely. I left SF pretty early so I could get past the Summit and get home at reasonable time. It was a mess for sure.
