8 Weeks, 6,000 km on the motorhome, 2,000 km on the bikes, more State and National Parks and Monuments than I can count, sunrise in Monument Valley, Stars in Death Valley, floods in Perris, a bunch of Americans pleading for sanctuary, some skydiving, massive cities, ghost towns, canyons large and small, and a Valley Of Fire. Hwy 74 to Palm Springs, or the opposite direction to The Pacific Coast Highway, high speed runs, low speed lane splitting (scary as FUCK at first but lots of fun once you get used to it), Canyon Carving, High Speed Runs across the Desert (didn't buy fast motorcycles to hold up traffic), and it's all brought us to Skydive Arizona for the Christmas Boogie. Just in time for a storm with wind so strong it was making the slide on the motorhome move in and out. The DZ is mostly submerged, water and gelatinous quicksand like mud everywhere trapping us in the motorhome, temperatures in the low teens for the next week, and we couldn't be happier. The Charlie Brown Christmas Tree is up and decorated, we have a years worth of movies courtesy of George and Celine, stacks of jump tickets, boxes and bags of cheap booze, party goods from Colorado, and we're spending our second Christmas not shoveling snow. 

Life Is Good.

Merry Christmas, Lawrence. I'm in Kelowna with Dave and his family. There's a house full of kids a few blocks away, blueberry tea for breakfast here at Dave's mom's, and turkey tonight that is being prepared by someone else. No mail to deliver. Vodka and lemonade for the afternoon, bags of chips, a yule log on TV, nuts and bolts from mom's recipe. After this, I'm sleeping for two days. Bliss.
