skp and I spent the day at a ropes course near Occidental. The weather was beautiful, and the other folks there were great to hang out with. skp's friend vanessa works out there...and she had a chance to bring along some friends and family.

I love going to book readings because I think I'd like to be an author someday. (More in my next post.)
