Jeff arrived today in time for lunch. We had steak quesadillas and soup for lunch, and then Ken and Jeff played some chess. When they needed a break, we went for a short hike on a trail just off the campground. It's a .5 mile loop, with marked specimens of several desert plants. We actually recognized some of them from our stop here last year.
This evening we joined Jan and George at Outback to celebrate with her brother (my cousin) Ron. His girlfriend, J.C. was there too. They've been together for a year and are clearly very happy in their relationship. George ordered the Blooming Onion he's been talking about for a week, and the table shared it. Ken and I had the Outback Griller Chicken with pineapple and veggies and rice, which was quite delicious with our Margaritas. We ordered a dessert sampler for the table to share--just enough sweet to top off a good meal.
Tonight the president addressed the congress, laying out his budget plan and encouraging the country about our prospects for economic recovery. Political exigencies, as usual, appear to compromise positions for change.
Jeff is sleeping on the converted magic sofa. He may get up early and head out for Vegas, where his dog, Pink, is waiting for his return after two months at school.
