Am Back!
Its good to be home.
I pulled into my driveway at 8 last night, after two hours in a car and 6 on airplanes. Phoenix was nice as always, I went swimming three days in 85-degree weather. I think it is the first week in a November I have ever swam.
I flew into Arizona Wed. about 11, after being searched extensively in the Memphis Airport. I guess I looked pretty suspicious in my Southern Illinois University sweatshirt and jeans, because out of the 60 or so people at the terminal I was one of three grabbed aside for a search. Not that I am complaining, because I understand what they are doing.
We went into Tempe, home of ASU, and lunched at Gordon Biersh Brewery and strolled some of the shops there. Went to my friends house in Cave Creek, laid out and swam. Went to Kokomo Joe's, a restaurant inspired by Jimmy Buffett. And went to Scottsdale Halloween night. Thursday, we went up in the mountains to Bartlett Lake, and spent the day there. We came back to a biker bar and country bar in Cave Creek, where we watched the baseball game. Friday, welcomed my friends fathers girlfriend into town from Michigan, swam and laid out. Went shopping and out to eat at night, and rented a movie. Saturday, we woke up early and drove to the grand canyon, came back in the afternoon and stopped in Flagstaff. Went out to eat at Humprheys, and went to a wine bar and oxygen bar - there is a first time for everything. Got home, hit the hot tub. Woke up early sunday, and flew to Minneapolis - nice airport - and then to St. Louis.
I'll have pics up sometime.
