The Azkatraz Post (at last)
First, though, I owe a bunch of thanks to everyone who sent along their sympathies for my post-Az events of – well, if not actual doom, then Serious Unpleasantness. The tree spent the week sprawled across the yard, but we are very grateful that the house was spared. We'll miss it but we'd have missed our roof a whole lot more. The annuals are history, but the perennials, including the daylilies (*sniff*) will bounce back next year. Our part of town resembles a weird mashup of spring and fall, with shredded leaves drying all over the ground and those tough leaves that managed to hang on through wind and hail making the greenery look a lot less green that last week.
My son is also managing to bounce back from the flu. For a few days it was like he'd been replaced by someone else – he was actually 1) home, and 2) reading books (Harry Potter, to be exact). I'm pretty sure it was swine flu because he's had flu shots every year so should have some immunity built up to the run-of-the-mill types. The CDC states that those under 18 have no resistance whatsoever to swine flu. Another of his co-workers/friends came down with it as well. He's back to his wandering, TV-watching self now, though.
( So, the trip to San Francisco and Azkatraz was terrific (photos included) )
