First Rains

Friends from distant lands are visiting the area for another long-anticipated reunion, and many ancillary social functions have kept me from posting to this blog in recent days. Besides which, our recent acquisition of a pied-à-terre in another corner of the Bay Area has required a substantial investment in time and automobile mileage. Just shopping for furniture and household necessities (a process that in the best of times I try to avoid as much as I can) has added a layer of obligation to my already full schedule.

Last night we were at a dinner party where the bonhomie and fondly shared recollections of childhood friends made for a very pleasant gathering, and lasted until late.

The weather has turned cold, and during our drive home the first heavy rains accompanied us.
