My mom called earlier with the news that Ron's father passed away. My condolences to the Kuraharas.
Forenoon watch, 8 bells (12:15 pm)
We stayed out really late last night at the houseboat on Blue Creek Bay on Lake Coeur d'Alene to spend time with my sister-in-law and her family. They're moving to Indonesia for the next five years for her husband's work (Chevron). We had a nice dinner at Cedar's (they paid! It must have cost a small fortune!) and then boated back to the houseboat and played games until the wee hours. It was fun to spend time with them, and we wish them the best.
