Captain's Birthday

Number 44-and all he wants is a rain guage. No kidding. It's probably the only tool he doesn't own. Dorito was awarded one at Nodaway Valley Bank yesterday when he opened his checking account! (We love that Bank!) I gave it to Captain myself, when I flew out to California this evening. I was enrolling Meggar in a college class and praying for my flight to be slow in boarding. What do you know? It was delayed an hour for mechanical difficulties (blame it on the Lourdes water that Meggar gave me). I missed the first connection in Denver, but still made it to San Francisco by 9:00 pm for a fancy dinner at "Coi." They feature a tasting menu with 11 courses. Complex flavors + exotic presentation = mind-boggling meal.
