Re: Back From California

[Guest guest]

Hi, Tory:

We were in Santa Clara (near San Francisco). We went to San Fran

twice. Since it was a business trip, I didn't get to see as much of

the area as I would have liked. The weather there is GORGEOUS. I'm

from Ohio, so the low humidity was particularly appreciated. It

really made me WANT to get out and walk. I truly felt compelled.

To those of you who live in Cali, I envy you. Do you all appreciate

the gorgeous weather you're blessed with?
