We're back from our mini-vacation in Lake Tahoe!

I say "mini" because from door-to-door the whole thing only took 95 1/2 hours.

Yes, on Friday at 3 am we left for Boston's Logan Airport, and we were home safely at 2:30 am on Tuesday morning.

Tahoe was fantastic, different than I expected, but fantastic. I'm actually not sure what I expected, perhaps more gangsters? (You might remember that Tahoe's where Fredo is dumped in The Godfather Part II and where Whit Sterling has a home in Out of the Past).

Also? The lake was bluer than I expected. Yes, bluer.

Back in my Los Angeles days I had a friend from Tahoe, she had a "Keep Tahoe Blue" bumpersticker on her Jeep. I never really knew what that meant, until I saw the lake:


Yes, I did nothing to alter that photo. In fact, it might not be as blue as it was in real life ...

Anyway, more photos and stories soon.

PS- what happened to the Red Sox this weekend? Cripes!!
