Dude, California

With the RV safely back at Neb's house and launch scheduled for the next day, it was time to enjoy some time in the Southern California sun, Dude.

"Dude" is a great word. As a graduate student at Stanford for many, many years, I endeavored to master its subtle complexities. Without multimedia capability, I can't convey the power of the word on this blog, but a careful review of  Sean Penn's career-finest role in Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982) or Keanu Reeve's legendary performance in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989) will serve as a primer to the finer points of its varied usage.

As we floated in the community pool and basked in the sunlight of a endlessly cloudless blue sky, I couldn't help but reflect to Neb that a perfect day like this one could be experienced only once or twice a year in Williamstown. I knew the answer to my question, "Is the weather here like this very often?" before I asked it, but I just couldn't help myself. 

Dude...
