I have yet to read Aurora, but should put it on my list.

Miss seeing you as well. Amusingly, in late July I ended up meeting my parents in Sonoma, and we ate at The Girl And The Fig, as it was a place I knew which had good patio dining.

Glad the rebuilding has been going good, I've been wondering about that. I do look at the maps with an eye to your house, but so far, they appear afraid of it, so that is also good.
