With an uneventful flight from Pittsburgh to Phoenix and a surprising lack of an phone calls from work, today was off to a good start.


Me, my wife, her twin sister, and two couples who made the trip with us then went for a hike up Squaw Peak. Very rocky but a great time. Twin turned back before the top but day was still rolling along. Then we descended to parking lot where twin announced that she had fallen, broken a finger and had a very swollen ankle. Then got a call that mother-in-law had fallen and couldn't get up and 911 was called. And a voicemail from a client that he had a crisis which needed addressed ASAP.


MIL is probably going to be okay, Can't help client from 3 time zones away, and place in Jerome looks fabulous. So I'm going to put a smile on my face.


And have a couple beers and a burger at the Haunted Hamburger.


I feel ready for the Canyon!
