These gals have nothing to do with Randy, but I like to have a photo at the top of each post as often as possible. So here is a part of my Barbie collection. The 4 on the left are a Fashion Queen and 3 vintage "bubblecuts" from the early 1960's, in original outfits. These girls are barefoot because vintage shoes are rather fragile and (gasp!) vintage Barbie's feet are way too big for today's Barbie shoes. The blonde wearing lime green on the far right is a mod-era doll wearing a contemporary outfit in the mod spirit. Her smaller feet fit into those white disco boots. Now then, on to business. Received an email from Randy this afternoon, although it was written yesterday [Monday]. He says, "At last. Email is working! Or at least I can type something, which is a good sign.
"We're currently (4 p.m. [Monday, May 1]) passing near Catalina Island. But can't see it due to low clouds. Windy and rough and rather cold yesterday, but calm seas and not much wind this far south. We'll be moving into Mexican waters around midnight, and should see increasingly balmy days.
"Lots of running around today getting classrooms straightened out, trying to find a computer projecter (since they moved us out of the room with a built-in projector), etc. And wouldn't you know it, the Instructional Technology guy seems to be the only person on the ship who was seasick yesterday [Sunday; 1st day of cruise]. Hence the delays in everything.
"Anyway, got to run the projector over to Lee Parker [another Cal Poly professor on the ship]. I just noticed that the email was up as I went by the computer room, so I wanted to get a message out to you right away.
"Hope all is well. Love you! My regards to the kitties." R.
