quite love this pic, for it shows John in his well healed beamable state as he enjoys the life that he leads and the one that leads him...lunch time started with the surprise that the tourists had all fled the isle leaving us to nearly any seat if not the best seats in the house...with apps of home made chips/salsa and a dish of crabmeat/asparagus laden down with the best garlic dressing known to human kind, we commenced the luncheon communique' that gave us smart insight to John, his watch collections, his giddiness of California politics (which is to say, what about it's current state does not lead to complete giddiniess (probably followed by sheer panic if one lives there)), his impending move to Italy (where he has paid lip service to at least looking into Aermacchi parts for me), and the good life in general...this ride as well as discuss gives reason that many enough have spoken words that tangentially align to the fact that as much as the road is important that we travel upon, so too are the pitstops along the way...this was quite a pleasent one indeed...
