Youth and exuberance

Cousin Julia called.. Asked if she could visit.
Yay! Of course, no problem..
What we didn't know was that she brought with her a little magic.
Dad was awake and telling stories. Visiting and as alert as I have seen him in sometime.

Pain pills and exhaustion finally won out.
But it was great having Julia here for a nice, albeit quick, visit.

From Salt Lake, down to Vegas and this morning back up to Oakland... That's a lot of drive time kid. (Oh, then on to New Zealand Friday) .. Makes me tired thinking about it.
