Updates from Benicia

Well, June was fairly quiet here in Benicia. Bob worked. Jan worked too much. We got in a couple of sailing days. Worked on taxes. Had multiple doctor and dentist appointments, etc. The last weekend in June we did a quick weekend in San Diego - down on Friday and back on Sunday. Jan gave a presentation at a conference about using technology in nursing education. Of course, just before she was to present, I got a panicked call from her because the flash drive containing the PowerPoint slides wouldn't work. Turns out there was a virus on it! Sort of embarrassing to have happen at a technology conference.
We were able to spend some time with our good friends Mary and Damon Wright. They were our neighbors when we lived in the condo in Park Point Loma. We also spent most of Sunday with old friends Paul and Barbara Holz. We actually ventured out to the area around Temecula, CA, to look at housing. Temecula is about 1 hour northeast of San Diego along I-15. It is also about 1 1/2 hours south of where Jan's school is located, so she is thinking it might make some sense to relocate there. The housing market in that area has taken a real beating, down more than 50%, so there are some relative bargains. However, the economics of selling our house here in Benicia aren't favorable either, so we're here for now.
This coming weekend we are off to Denver for a Boller family reunion to celebrate brother Clifford's 80th birthday. He's the oldest sibling and the first male in our family to live past age 70. So, we decided it was worth taking special note. All my brothers and sister are planning to attend. Brother Glenn who lives in Alabama has been having multiple medical problems so we're hoping he will be able to make it. There will also be a few of the next generation in attendance. It will be good to see everyone again.

All for now.

Bob
