Modern life in slow motion

Sometimes we need to take the time to slow our lives down a little bit. This isn’t really hard in a place like San Luis Obispo where rural electrification is a new concept, but it is important to remember the simple things.

These past few days a childhood friend Pam and her daughter Jordan came up to Cal Poly to experience some of what Jordan can expect when she starts this fall. I suggested that we have a little picnic and brought rolled sandwiches, potato salad and Karen’s carrot cake ( actually Karen did make it when she was home last and it thawed out nicely). We are located in a rural environment, so naturally we brought our own water.

Our daughter Karen is at a conference in Boston and sent me the picture below and our experienced chef Kristin is somewhere in Iraq working on… of all things… a sushi meal!

As for me, I am uncovering myself from another pile of apples….
