Highlights of January 2008 What were we reading in January 2008? On January 5, we went to a party at Moonhie and Jerome's. They were without power at the beginning of the party but the power came on mid-afternoon. 
 
We spent a three-day weekend January 11-13, staying in a treehouse room at Post Ranch Inn, one of our favorite places in Big Sur.

   On
Sunday, we hiked Mt. Manuel - a major hike - 11 miles, 3500 feet vertical - that
we have been wanting to do for a number of years.
 
 Mobile While at Post Ranch, we purchased a mobile by Laurant Davidson, a student of Alexander Calder's, from Ventana. We have admired this mobile for a couple of years and finally decided it would look great in our living room. 
  Morroco The week of January 14, Jon went to Morocco for the final joint APAC/E EMEA operations review. We began with a team building exercise that involved donkey polo, camel rides, and 4 wheeling.

 After the meeting, a group of us went to a tented camp in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains where we were treated donkey rides to the nearby village, a sumptuous meal, and a variety of entertainers, dancers, and musicians.
Prior to departure for the U.S. Jon and Karen went shopping in the souks (markets) or Marrakech. |
