There is more laundry in my immediate future. Mental note: Buy stock in Tide also.

Here's the money shot from Yosemite. I am going to have it enlarged, matted and framed:

I am so insanely proud of this photo. Just lucky, but everything came together perfectly, and the water had nary a ripple. That's Half Dome.

Travel back. This took all day.

Arrived home to find Kevin had pissed all over the ENTIRE HOUSE including the bed, the curtains, the carpet, my closet, multiple blankets, LITERALLY EVERYTHING. This, because Freddie was able to jump the DOUBLE BABY GATE BARRIER (at least 7 feet, no kidding) and got out at least once while we were gone. If I hadn't witnessed it myself I wouldn't have believed it. (He treated us to a performance within 15 minutes of getting home.) The cat sitter called me and let me know there had been a fight...and that she was going to keep Freddie behind closed doors the rest of the time we were gone. The moment we let him out, he leapt 7 feet in the air, balanced on top of a baby gate, and jumped down on the other side. If the whole house hadn't been soaked in urine, I would have been impressed.

Kevin has a scar on his ear, and across his face. Molly has a scar on her ear too. I have no idea how this all went down, but I think it was a terrible experience all the way around. For everyone including us. Every time we sit down we have to make sure we're not sitting on a fresh puddle of pee. The washing machine is working overtime, and I'm going to buy stock in Nature's Miracle, which doesn't seem to be working as it's designed.

   Monday: rest.
     Tuesday: OTF (run if I can) 5:45 PM
    Wednesday: Fly to California
    Thursday: Yosemite; wine dinner with Corison winery
    Friday: Yosemite; hiking/wandering eating
    Saturday: AM Yosemite, PM back to San Francisco
   Sunday: Spend morning in San Francisco; fly home. WASH ALL THE THINGS.

Straight up, then straight down. OMG. Up to Vernal Falls, then to the top of Nevada Falls. Then down the Muir trail, which was literally down hill every single step. My quads, knees, calves and general body have never felt more beat to hell. 8 miles.
