How was vacation, Jerry?

We had a great time!  (And I forgot to bring an extra container of test strips, so I ended up testing only once or twice a day!)  Stayed at a river-front resort on the Napa, about a 15-minute walk from downtown  Napa, and spent time with family and friends.  Had dinner on Sunday at the Boon Fly Cafe with my twin brother and his wife, our sister and her boyfriend, and some long-time friends we don't see often enough.  On my 65th, had lunch with another friend from my law school days, and then dinner in SF with two other friends.  Another couple came up for the last weekend, and we took a tour of the Castelo di Amorosa.  (Visited just the one winery all week.)
