Over the Hill

Rhys and I are headed over the hill to the Bay Area today. My youngest niece is graduating from Berkeley High tonight so we're heading down to cheer her on. The ceremony is at the Greek Amphitheater, which is also where I went for several concerts lo so many years ago. The other bonus to all of this is that I'll get to see my sister and her family who are coming out from Texas. Always a plus to be able to see them.

Tomorrow Rhys and I will hang out with one of my old friends. He's not old (unless you consider 40 to be old - I don't), it's just that we've been friends for something like 35 years. What's even more fun is that we're meeting at his parents' house in San Rafael which is right across the street from where I grew up as a kid. It'll be fun to see my old house and see the old neighborhood.

We'll drive back tomorrow night after our whirlwind tour. I'm glad we have the Prius to offset some of the costly price of gas.
