Herman, Bound for Europe in 1964

For those of my readers/viewers who know Herman, you might find this image of interest.  Here he is on board the USS United States at NY Pier 47, about to embark on his first European adventure, headed to the University of Dijon (France).  Yes, I was supposed to join Herman and Geoff (at the camera), but things went awry for me (another story, not to be retold here).  This was the cruise where Herman met a fellow passenger, David Hockney, undoubtedly enlivening his already-keen interest in art.

rDay Fourteen-Hundred-Six

rDay Fourteen-Hundred-Three

Saturday morning comes with no rain (at last!) in the forecast, so we decide to catch the sunrise at Mill Creek, not having been there since Ivi’s Christmas visit.

Reaching the end of our trail, we turn around and see an encroaching fog bank.

The density of the fog makes for a totally different experience for the return leg, though the cold persists.  Kim and I become separated, and it is not until the trailhead is near that I realize she and Charlie have been traversing the opposite bank.

Having walked several miles in the morning, I drive to my downtown workspace by mid-afternoon and return in the early evening darkness, still enveloped by fog.
