The other day I had to call Citibank about my credit card and while on the phone with the girl she told me she was in Maine. She told me it was about 22 degrees below zero with a layer of ice on top of the snow.

Jack and I took advantage of the "winter weather" here in SoCal and went to the beach. It was a lovely 76 degrees without a cloud in the sky. Wish you all had been there.


The sun was dancing off the waves and looked like hundreds of flash bulbs going off. We even saw several pods of porpoise going by.

Another beach goer, who admitted to playing hookey from work because of the great weather, volunteered to take our photo.

Ah retirement!! It doesn't get any better than this!!!
