We have our top investigators on the case at last. And yes, you know how steep - the photo doesn't mislead - the stairs are, especially going up. And in spite of that they do make a grand stage set for a West Side Story-esque rendezvous or open-armed welcome to a friend from far away, last seen too long ago. The jacaranda is in bloom right now, purple petals under foot. You are so very, very, very. xoMarylinn Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02759437467691163658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400078448867068387.post-5551222274185778582013-06-15T14:39:36.401-07:002013-06-15T14:39:36.401-07:00I'm honored to say that I've walked those ...I'm honored to say that I've walked those stairs and they are steep. I loved seeing this picture because it reminds me that you;re there in Pasadena in your wise and wonderful glory. I LOVED sitting in the courtyard balcony with you and Lucas relaxing, drinking cold coffee-milkshake hybrids and just being together. As for the statins?...is it a coincidence that they read like "Satin"?.....yikes.

What got me turned around was a process of some enfeebling (arthritis) which I thought the side effects were merely an extension of for too, too long a time. So know the body gets to be very, very miraculous and we shall work together.
