Good-bye USA! See you in 4000 miles or so! The little ship is wood
paneled, kind of old-fashioned, and lovely. Here we go!

Panama Canal Cruse, Day 1
OK : we are still in Tucson, but I'm pretty sure this is the day we leave. horses are trailered, dog outsourced,lights are shut down, we're a little overdue for headin' out of town. My apologies to Foster and Lloyd.
First stop San Diego, and Ken is supposed to meet us if he can get over the giddiness of KU finally winning a home basket ball game...over KSU. At least the fighting U of A Wildcats took care of business vs the LA Basin schools: sorry Kristin but not really too awful sorry.
I'll be in touch; meeting the Chipman's and Montalto's and away we go for a big adventure to Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Columbia, Miami, then home.
ps: Cell phone is suppposed to work via some magic on ship; But it's outrageously expensive so just use email unless emergency. Use the gmail address, I'll get it sooner. The ship is Azamara Journey and I should be able to check emails in case of emerg..I even think you can get a ship phone # if you go to the web site, www.azamaracruises.com. I just don' have it now.
Love to All, Dad/UR. See you soon Mark!

Life at Elk Ridge
Back in Tucson; a real nice but always kind of poignant trip back to Mom. Her memory is getting shorter and shorter, really poor at night. Still, had some nice drives with her, lunch out (at Annie's), and breakfasts together at B.P. Was so fun to have Inger with; thanks for all your help with her. We got to see the Symmonds and spent a couple of nights with Jim and Mary Shepherd. Augusta looks great and Judy came up from Wichita.
That Allegiant Air sure does nickel and dime a person but all in all it's a good way to travel...now we are packing for our biggie: The Canal!
So, stay tuned...Love to all, Dad
ps: Kristin & Doug; I only have 10 addresses I can use on the auto send for the blog. Your dad, Jayhawker that he is, did not make the cut. Feel free to send these along however. Mark : *** See you Soon *** Hey, can we see a real drug lord?

Kansas visit
OK! Up @ 4 am, met a coughing and sneezing Inger @ airport in Mesa,
and up and away. Not much snow over the Rockies it seems; remembering
the flights I used to make with the Bonanza! Looks different from way
up here and here's hoping someday I can re-visit that. It's 22 degrees
here we a 25 knot wind. Roads are clear though!

in the mountains. home safe. Love, Dad

Ranch
Good morning! What a beautiful dawn in Tucson!
Heading up to the ranch, taking Bill Derrick with me, to check out
the new calf, pay some bills, re-stock the barn with "stuff", and just
to see some country! Horses are fed and scooped, dog in the back of
the pick-up, and away we go! Hope all is well around the country!
