Train trip IV

Enormous thanks are due to the indispensable Stephy, who stood ready to port my weblog updates from the road during the last seven days. It turned out that Pacific Bell’s much-advertised nationwide roaming service is (surprise!) not quite what it promises; as soon as we were out of California I was unable to get a data connection for more than a few seconds at a time. Finally I stopped trying. Stephy only got to post two updates. The rest of them are still on my Visor. I’ll upload them here as soon as I get around to plugging it into the computer. Bottom line: The trip and the wedding were great, even though only about half the expected participants were able to make it. There will be make-up re-weddings on both coasts in the coming months so that those who couldn’t be there can be there.
