Uncle Wen was married to my Dad's younger sister Francis.  He lives in Mass. near Boston.  I had the opportunity to talk with him recently and encouraged him to join our blogs.  Wen was a nuclear physicist from MIT in his younger days.  I remember his great sense of humor from when we were kids.  I hope he will join us soon.  I don't think computers will be any problem for him.

   Have you ever, even once in your whole life, prepared to leave on vacation without a last minute rush?  The inevitable list of the last minute things to do always starts growing rapidly as the day draws near. Inevitably departure times go out the window and it becomes a "we'll leave when we're  #@$%%$#  ready" start.  Well not for us.
   My Angel of Mercy and Organization has interceeded for me.  She has everything packed, organized and mostly loaded in the car and we don't have to leave until tomorrow noon when Violet gets out of school.   She can even slow time down so I have enough to get all of my stuff done as well. I was actually looking for things to do this afternoon.   Later the Universe did recover enough to allow three people to request rental buildings.   The irony of that is we haven't had an order since the 24th of Jan and now hours before we are leaving we get three calls??  Go figure. 
   We will be heading toward Reno then across Nevada to Utah and circle down from Salt Lake city to southern UT and then back up thru the Sequias and into Yosemite.  It should be a great trip with lots to see.  We didn't end up with a suitable phone so we will update you all around Easter.  Bye for now.  Gotta get a laptop!
