Quite a few places in CA.  After retiring from the Navy my Dad was a government contractor and we move around a lot...like every three years.  We lived in Sacramento for three years, Santa Maria for three years, Placerville for two years and finally settled in Riverside until I joined the Navy.  Then they sent me to San Diego, Okinawa and Camp Pendleton and then to the East Coast never to go back to live...I do visit often since I still have relatives in Riverside.

Jimmy, I hadn't seen/heard that you got orders to Japan.  Congrats.  It must be a relief that they finally came through.

Charlotte,

We have orders to Iwakuni.  It is only a 3 hor or so bullet train ride away from Tokyo so I will make The Tokyo MArathon an annual thing while there.  You and Bill should plan on a trip to Japan where you guys will have room and board until we get into Tokyo.  I week or so will do you some good to visit another continent and run a race.  You should find one close to your homeland and then you can start knocking out the seven continents before you turn 70.  I like this.  Me making goals for you!  I plan on hitting Tokyo and one or 2 in Australia and I really want to hit the Great Wall of China Marathon.  Goals.

Jimmy

Jimmy,

Keep us posted on that Jimmy.  I would consider doing the Great Wall even if I don't end up stationed out there.

You got the BQ coming soon, without a doubt, Jerry.  That will definitely be cause for a beer or two.
