Upcoming This Week

Now that the annular eclipse is over and done with, there's something else to look forward to.

Friend Mitch Geriminsky will be turning the ripe old age of 70 on October 25, but the birthday party will be this week in Lake Havasu, Arizona. I will heading there at the end of this week with Sierra.

I have already bought his birthday present and it'll be presented at the party. 

This will likely be the last camping trip with The Beast this year. Winter is fast approaching and it is already cold at night here in Jamestown, New Mexico. At least I'll be enjoying temperatures of around 100° while in Lake Havasu.

It is kind of mind-boggling to think that someone I've known since we were 14 years old is turning 70.
