Greetings from Long Beach

I am visiting college friends here in Orange County for a few days. It is really nice--we went to the world famous Long Beach Aquarium yesterday and commiserated, reminisced and generally enjoyed each other as though 40 years hadn't passed since we were at Mount St. Mary's in Los Angeles.

Today's plan is lazing about at the beach! Then the Broad Museum on Tuesday! Will report back.

My usual Educational Links might be on a little different schedule til I get back home to Apple Valley. You can always check 'the Vault,' as Disney says, for past posts.
