First time I have eaten in a restaurant since COVID-19. More snow to come today. First hot meal since March 2nd.
Intentions fulfilled.
Conversation with a woman outside of the restaurant. She is finally feeling better four days after her 2nd COVID shot. Some of her family members have died recently from COVID-19. She is grateful to have the vaccine now.
Another conversation with the restaurant owner Neel. He had stories of always being late for daily mass and sitting in the back at church. He also knew and debated with a Franciscan brother regularly. He got his phone out and shared a picture from a visit to Italy and a photo of the altar containing the body of St Padre Pio.
Snow is coming.

Hi Brother Paul,
I’m enjoying your blog. Met you in the Mt Laguna area.
I want to backpack Barrel Springs to the Paridise Cafe in 3 nights. How are the water sources?

Water is good. Hopefully it has warmed up. I have been living in the frig and sleeping in the freezer.
