Restless Boomer: June 2009

A plant I've never seen before, growing on the forest floor at Lassen Peak National Volcanic Park.

Great moments, remembered . . .

... eating a freshly picked, ripe red tomato from my mother's garden
... eating fish and drinking wine near Split, with Lee and Patti, overlooking the Adriatic Sea on the Croatian coast
... almost colliding with a freighter while flying in a P-3 in pursuit of a Soviet sub 100 feet above the Norwegian Sea
... experiencing Georgian nightlife for the first time with Svetlana in Tbilisi
... drinking beer in a bar in Golden Triangle, with opium dealers at one end of the room and Burmese army soldiers at the other end of the bar
... dining on Longustino in a small cafe in Angra Do Heroismo, Azores, with a school teacher from Buffalo
... bicycling with Elizabeth, Sarah & Thomas on a country road in Champagne-Ardenne
