Friday

 A busy few days.  The wedding is tomorrow.  It’s fun to be here to help a little.  Smoked a brisket today to heat up for dinner tomorrow.  Got in a walk on the shoreline this morning. Saw some gulls.  

Travel Day

 Gotta love flying out of McAllen International Airport.  This is both the drop-off and pick-up. The lobby. The TSA station.  No waiting; just friendly agents talking us through it. The plane we flew out on today… A one hour flight to Houston. A four and a half hour flight from Houston to Seattle with our friend-for-the-day Spencer. A bus ride to the rental car.  A drive north to Lynnwood.  Check in to the hotel.  And we’re all set for the night. Got in a quick walk.  Saw crows.
