Regaining Sleep Patterns

We arrived to our Long Beach apartment yesterday in the early afternoon, after two days of flying west, first from Amsterdam, into the sunlight for eight hours to Toronto (trying to get the kids dinner at 9 pm local time but 3 am body time was fun), and then the next morning, from Toronto through the sunlight all the way back to SoCal.

That was flight was funny, as it's jts under five hours, but we get three of them back with the time changes, so it was like we left at 11 and arrived at 1.

Anyway, I'll be dumping stuff up here for the next few days. Before going to bed last night I shaved off my beard and had Corrie start the chopping of my hair. I needed a new summer feel.


I felt like sharing the least Western Europe picture I had from the trip, the north fork side of the Grand Canyon from the flight home.
