We're taking an early flight to Bakersfield. Hope you can sleep on the plane. We're seeing Keith Sweat, Jon B and High Five.at RABOBANK ARENA (1001 Truxtun Avenue, Bakerfield. Ca.) http://www.rabobankarena.com/events/detail/keith-sweat-rewind-fest-2018 Sorry, no high end hotel tonight, We're at the Hampton Inn. http://hamptoninn3.hilton.com/en/hotels/california/hampton-inn-bakersfield-centr... There's a lot to see here. I'm going to let you decide. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g32037-Activities-Bakersfield_California...

I need a little zing today. It is my... what you call it now... my EX-Anniversary. And I am trying to let it go and just enjoy myself - in real time I am doing much the same - going to a writing group in downtown Burlington for the morning. In virtual time... California will be a great change as we zig zag across the country again. None of the bands are familiar to me, but I am going to remain open to the experience.
The inn is sweet, not overly ostentatious... so I won't feel guilty enjoying the town instead of feeling like I need to get my moneys worth in the hotel. I just need a place to rest my head.... and a pool is always a bonus.
I did manage to sleep on the plane. Last night's concert was everything I had hoped. The songs are still humming through my system and I can't keep the upbeat smile off my face. I think many of our group are feeling similarly. I decided on a gentle day. I took a walk along the Positive Mental Attitude Trail at the Park at River Walk.
