Getting close to the wire

A storm just blew in today. The lenticular clouds sliding over the San Francisco Peaks reminded me that Flagstaff can be pretty spectacular. The roofers put a new roof on just in time (two days of heavy footed, pounding 'elves' on my roof and dirt raining down inside). Maybe it will be quiet enough that I can focus on packing tomorrow. An advantage of being forced out of my house is that I took care of multitudinous errands that needed running before I leave. I have been thinking about going to India, and waiting and waiting long enough, that I think I'm truly ready to begin this adventure. Too bad I didn't learn how to speak Hindi -- I'll try to learn some while I'm there.
