Runnymedians in California

bodegabay.jpgA former schoolmate-from my school in Madrid (and Jenny’s over at Mulubinba Moments)-lives not far from here. Although he was in the class above me, our mothers both worked in the school library.

Ian and his wife Katrin met us in Bodega Bay this weekend; we had brunch at the Seaweed Cafe and then went to look for whales on Bodega Head. It was fun to reminisce and to talk politics. Some people seem to have the hobby of reading, researching, and memorizing facts and figures. Ian is one of these, and he regularly spends time with elected officials making sure they know what he thinks. (I have no time to do this and am thankful some do!)

He doesn’t look the same; he used to be blond (I used to be brunette). My mother, he thought, looked EXACTLY the same. (I now look more and more like her.)

We all bemoaned the loss of wild space and a simpler, saner lifestyle.

  1. Pica – thanks for this! One day I am simply going to have to get on the plane and come and visit. Ian sent me a photo of him with a beard so he looks different again here. Remember he played the Artful Dodger in Oliver in the school play? I’m sure there must be some politicians (elected officials) “artfully dodging” his all too acute questioning of their principles. I’m glad you finally got to meet one another again.
