With Charlie McDermaid at Pioneertown



With Judy

Beth leaves before meeting to go to Sue's for garage sale. Grocery shopping after meeting; then home and put stuff away. Check e-mail and news sites. To bank and make deposit for Beth. Take off for Pioneertown at 10:40 - arrive 11:25. Drive around looking for Charles and Judy McDermaid: he's a Canadian I met on the Internet, whom I have never met in person. Believe it or not, we find each other. Tour the town, then to Pappy and Harriett's for lunch and talk. He's a bigger Western nut than I am. Sign some books for them; then they off to gunfighter show and I drive home. Beth is home from garage sale. She's fed girls. I down for nap. Up before 5:00 and we talk. We cook and eat dinner; then both of us to office. She to shower while I write here. Later ~
