Jo and I drove Jean to the airport around 7:30 am for a 9 am flight. As it turns out, a friend who works for American Airlines probably saw her come through the check-in. It was really good to see Jean after so long a period. Jo mentions that no matter how long it’s been since they’ve seen each other, it’s like it was just the other day. They pick up the conversation as though no time had elapsed. The only thing that would have made this better is Jimmie being with us.
Later, Jo and I went for a nice walk around her neighborhood and through Olmos Park. The neighborhood is beautiful with live oak trees shading homes and streets. We got a little damp from the fog and mist but it was a perfect temperature for walking.
At 1:30 pm I met Larry Thrash at Bird Bakery on Broadway in Alamo Heights. Larry used to be the life guard for me when I was manager at Golden Memorial State Park in Walnut Grove, Mississippi. I won’t tell you how long ago that was. After I left the park, I met him again later in Jackson, Mississippi when he was working at Millsaps College. We’ve been friends ever since.

Hence, he probably saw Jean check in for her flight back home to Mississippi. To show you how small a world it is, he did check in a couple from Brandon, Mississippi where my brother lives.
Larry and I spent a good two hours talking over old times, our retirements, and our hiking. He’s recently gotten back into hiking, much like me, and we were comparing notes of places been and places to go. We’ve both lost some hair (me more than he) and we’ve both gained weight, but we knew each other immediately. Prior to today, the last time we’d seen each other was when he and Bill were living in Jackson and I had stopped by while visiting my brother.
Dinner tonight was back at Cappy’s with Jo’s son Patrick and his partner Sara. They are a very enjoyable couple and it was the first time I had the opportunity to interact with Sara. I’ve know Patrick since birth. I hope someday they’ll get a chance for me to show them around south Florida.
Tomorrow morning I head to Enchanted Rock near Fredericksburg, Texas for some hiking. At least, I hope so. I made reservations a while ago with ReserveTexas which handles all the Texas state parks. I received a confirmation email but had no assigned campsite. While in Hot Springs, I received another email telling me Texas has turned over their reservation system to ReserveAmerica and for me to log into their site to see the assigned campsite. As you might guess, no reservation was listed. The phone number supplied with the email is not in service. It looks like a major snafu and I may be spending the night in a hotel in Fredericksburg. Stay tuned.
