Woke up in Palm Springs. John took car to Honda dealer and got shuttle to Mission Hills for golf. Terry Wilcox had arranged for him to be able to play. Terry's grandchildren call him "Poppy." There is a pond named after him (Poppy's Pond)where the winner of the LPGA Nabisco Champion takes her dive.
He called the shuttle to get him afterward and car was ready. Yay!!!
Genie slept in and lazed by pool.
Weather was quite strange and unexpected. 70+ percent humidity and temps under 100! Strange haze, so no,bright sun. It was all the news! (Except for a young woman' s body had bbe found in 140' mine shaft and killer arrested in Anchorage, AK! She'd been missing since late June. The last couple of days they were looking for his car with ...Alaska tags! Glad we didn't get here earlier!)
John returned with Subway for lunch and we stayed by pool, relaxing until time for dinner, and about that time it cleared up. Tried to find an Italian place he'd been before with Hendren. We couldn't find it, or it was closed. Next we tried to go to Johnny Costa's after reading about their chef who had cooked for Frank Sinatra in his home, but it was closed. So we went to Kalura Trattoria instead and it was a great find. Just across from The Blue Coyote from the might before, on Palm Canyon.
After dinner we rode down to Paseo Drive in Palm Desert and other old favorite spots..
Here we sit at pool again, trying to figure out how to post with lousy internet service! 91 degrees, light wind, most comfortable!
1:09 am now, and I think we've got it!

Gary's name is Poppy, too, and he would have loved that course. Any course, for that matter. As far as license plates, timing was good! Enjoy!
