Back from Forthing

Got over the sore throat in time to take the plane to So.Calif and not be sick. The flight down to So.Calif was full and on time. Spent time with gil_liant's mom [so his sisters didn't have to worry about her ... since she just got a pacemaker ... while they went out camping with the little kids]. She's doing really excellently well and the time spent there was OK [albeit with a nigh total lack of internet].

The flight back was over-full [due to problems from the prior flight], but it also made excellent time and all was well, allowing gil_liant to pick me up & get me back home. Yay, home-ness is wonderful and I'm delighted to be here.
