Can you tell I was happy to be back? Victor invited us to join him at his house for several days. I hadn't been a guest in the Pines since 1987, the summer I auditioned for my first share.
That likely was long before this hunk was sculpted. Victor told us the model is now a dentist in Pittsburgh. But his ageless, bronze avatar will always have the Pines. Just don't tell anybody that he and his white-hot brethren were commissioned by Abercrombie & Fitch.
I'd never seen 72 Bay in the morning.
The fiber art hanging in the bedroom that Thom and I shared captured the same view from a different angle in the evening.
There's always a party going on at Victor's house. This mostly millennial, well-bred crew stopped by two nights running. Victor calls it "force multiplication." And that's why I dubbed him Master Spinner.
We alta cockers had a poison ivy scare on our return walk from Sunken Forest.
A new queen reigns at the east end of Bay Walk.
