Cool start

Back to more familiar climate conditions; pleasant for climbing workouts, and rumbling around the yard. Our nonegenarian found it cold, but the rest of us felt normal.
A friend held a fundraising dinner at her home, helping out a woman she knows who's training for a triathalon race for the cure kind of event, in this case, lymphoma and leukemia research. My friend's been working on this for a while, and having eighteen extra souls in her modestly sized house to feed and entertain went well. We all had a swell time eating lasagna, drinking wine, and trading personal anecdotes, some of which I would never have imagined coming from the people they did. Very fine evening.
