3 Days in Heaven

After crazy weeks of performances, finals, work and whatnot, A and I finally got away for 3 glorious days. I have a new camera so of course I had to take about 300 pictures. Not kidding. Something like 300. I've boiled it down to 49 here. It "snained" most of the time, but who cares, away from cell phones and email we just hung out and talked about stuff meaningless and otherwise.

The only drama came on day 2 when we drove into the valley. It rained the whole way in and was pretty overcast, but still the valley looked beautiful. By the time we headed out it was dark again. I kinda forgot to check the gas. I thought we'd have enough to get down to the south entrance, pass Fish Camp and head into Oakhurst to fill up. Boy was I wrong. About 1/2 way (we'd find out later) to Wawona the gas gage dipped below empty. That's right, we were running on fumes in Yosemite about 30miles from AAA with no cell coverage for sure. I guess if we had run out I would have waved down a stranger, but I didn't relish the option. My biggest fear was that if we did make it into Wawona there might not be gas. I breathed a huge sigh of relief when we hit the valley floor and found a 24hr gas station. Therein much ribbing ensued. Much deserved ribbing and thank goodness it was only that.

So if that's the highest drama of a 3 day weekend I consider us lucky. We spent much of the time devising Christmas lists. I had no idea how far behind I was. Fortunately I've caught up a little since then. A got to do some writing. If you're very good you might even get to see some of it on this here blog. Wuh-hoo!

Well, until the next then, Happy Christmas and as usual, don't forget the pictures
