We went up to Tacoma for a visit with some old friends. It would have been special anyway, since I’ve known all of these people from my youth orchestra days, but seeing these friends, who really don’t seem to have aged, in the way that we never really see ourselves age (unless we see a particularly bad photo of ourselves) with their children (and children-to-be) was incredible. It was a great time – and many thanks to John for the share of the 22lb Alaskan King Salmon he reeled in a couple weeks ago!
