I'm in the middle of trip to San Jose for my niece's high school graduation. I left Thursday p.m., overnighted in Redding, and arrived yesterday. The drive down was good and uneventful. The Miata, surprisingly enough, is a comfortable road trip car.
For the trip down, I bought the audio version of John Krakauer's Under the Banner of Heaven ( NY Times review, LDS response to book). I have found it, and the events portrayed in it, interesting and a little disturbing. I can definitely recommend it.
One nice thing about the trip from OR to CA is Mt. Shasta. It was its usual photogenic self. I am a bit perturbed with myself for forgetting to use the polarizer, however.
My parents and brothers, along with my bro-in-law's stepmother and stepsister have rendezvoused in San Jose for my niece's graduation. My niece scored an extra 4 tickets so my brothers and I and my brother Kevin's wife could all attend. This was especially exciting as my niece was salutatorian and spoke brilliantly at the ceremony.
Last night the family partied it up, tonight, more celebration for a broader audience.

Nice picture lovey.
I'll second that! Glad you "enjoyed" Under the Banner of Heaven. As you know, my reaction to it was very similar to yours. Drive safe on the way back!
I don't know what a salutatorian is, but it sounds important. So, congratulations, Jean!
Also, congratulations on your Olympics wins!
