Another New Chapter away from ShangriLa

Life is truly running fast forward...the passing of my mother the day after I euthanize Freckles has certainly taken me back.  Nothing else matters in terms of climbing any career ladder.  After 2 trips to Florida to help Dad, my estranged sister shows up by surprise on his doorstep with her husband after 20 years of no contact. 

I am pleased for the new found society of Meetup group events that I have attended her in Central Coast CA but now have to migrate to the Inland Empire groups...away from beach opportunities.  :(  Hopefully I am able to return to this region when I really retire from work....someday.
