Greetings!

Greetings from the beach.  The sand and water are lovely as usual (pictures later).  All the folks are talking at once, and the noise level is very high - just like always on the first day - as we get caught up with a year's news.  We have come from California, Texas, Tennessee, Delaware, Kentucky, South Carolina, Florida, North Carolina, and Mississippi.

To answer Sato's question, we are near Fort Morgan.  The house we rent for the week is right on the beach, and we've been coming to this particular house for about 10-12 years. 

Things will settle down tomorrow and we'll get serious about our routine of swimming and sleeping and eating and talking.
