I survived Berkeley football and 40  year reunion with Alan's college friends over the weekend.  It was very eye opening, to say the least.  And here I always thought Alan was so sheltered in college.  Hmmm.

Time to get busy.  The West Coast Gem and Mineral Show is this weekend.  I would like to get an Apache Gold sphere and a Magnetite in Black Jade sphere finished before I leave on Thursday, just not sure that is possible. They are working on the machines even now as I type.  

I still am deciding what to take.  The dining room is piled high with boxes.  Room has to be left for potential purchases on the way home, so I can't get too wild.  I would like to do this so I do not need to completely repack for the show the following weekend for the Apache Junction club in AZ.  We will see how well I manage that.

Thanks for reading.......
