It’s a short work week for me as I am taking Friday off to head for Spokane.  The Spokane Lupus walk is on Saturday so I am driving the 41/2 hours on Friday and staying the night at a hotel.  I am excited about this little trip for two reasons, First is that I am excited to see all the people having fun while working to help the Lupus foundation, Secondly I am excited to see the area as the last time I was in Spokane was when I was a firefighter and was sent as part of a task force to fight a very large wildfire back in 1991.  Despite the reasons for my being there at the time I found that I really liked the area and this is a welcome return, especially as the circumstances of the visit are much more positive.

It’s hard to believe that tomorrow is the autumn equinox as we are expecting temperature in the mid 80’s here in the Pacific Northwest.  Autumn to me is 50’s to 60’s so I will need to use my imagination to make it feel like autumn.  I hope the end of September or beginning of October usher in some cooler weather.  If not then is anyone hiring in Anchorage!?!
