UP, UP, AND AWAY

In a few hours, I shall fly to San Francisco to see my son, Patrick, his wife, Diana, and my two grandchildren, Samuel and Athena [assuming that I do not spend the weekend in Denver, where I change planes.]  I return Monday evening, so this site will fall silent for the next four days.  While I am gone, I trust you will all contemplate the eternal verities [or watch NCIS reruns.]
