I went to Truckee again last week. I drove up Wednesday and stayed through the weekend. It was wonderful.

I sat on the couch and watched TV and fiddled with my laptop. I checked my email, chatted with friends, read my favorite websites. I sat in a rocking chair by the window and watched the snow come down. I BBQ’ed steak and sat by the fire. I played Yosemite with my niece, Ranger Kristen. I went to dinner with my folks. I went gambling with my sister and brother-in-law. I sat in a bar and drank very strong margaritas. I walked all over downtown Truckee. I drank coffee. I slept peacefully.

Now I’m back in Hayward. Yay.
