• It's been a bad 2 weeks (seems to be a tough summer for poor farkie). My father has gone into the emergency room 3 times over the past 12 days. In Jackson no less. He's still in there.

To make matters worse I promised my wife (you'll LOVE this) to go to Yosemite for 3 days and then to drive around in a camper for 3 days before heading to aspen til 8/10. I'll send photos. How/where are you?
