Charley K, football star

Pleasant evening last night at Cayuga Lake. Charley managed to slip the leash at one point, ran into the middle of some kids throwing a football on the big grassy quad and spent the next hour chasing the football back and forth between them. It was a riot to watch- she is so fast- and these folks loved trying to chase her around. One of the kids, about high school age, wanted to keep her, saying she would help him get into shape for football season. Just a lot of fun and exercise for her, and she behaved really well. The exercise seemed to relax her, as we all slept in until almost 8..the latest we've slept the whole trip. On the road now, on Route 90, with Paul at the wheel. Stopping in Albany for a visit with our old college friends Bob and Bee and then on to Western Mass to spend the night with other old friends Bill and Sue. Happy to be back on the East Coast and even happier to be seeing old friends. (and family soon!) The sun is out, it's warm and somewhat steamy, and we are happy to have made it across the country in one piece.
