This week I got down to my last 12 proton treatments which is another milestone. Speaking of milestones, on a run in the hills here I finally spotted the elusive Roadrunner, a bird made famous in a cartoon which they certainly do resemble in their scurrying.
Marianne had been wanting visit the mission at San Juan Capitstrano, famous for the return of the swallows on St. Joseph's Day on 3/19. (As a little known point of fact, the Mission is the conclusion of a 15,000 mile flight from Goya, Argentina. Incredible as this sounds, the swallows stay in long distance shape by flying 600 miles/day flying to and fro in search of food)! We combined the tour of the mission with a visit to my daughter, Gretchen and son-in-law, Russ, who live in San Clemente and also had a surprise visit by my eldest grandson, Zach, a freshman at Loyola Marymount. A great time was had by all featuring 84 degree weather.
In keeping with our intent of maximizing our visit here, we're both bound for a four hour ordeal at the dental school tomorrow.
