This will be the last CHN until Tuesday. I won’t be Driving Miss Susan this weekend because we’ll be flying. I’ll be the one connected to the legs sticking out from under the pile of luggage as it moves through the airport. J

We’ll be leaving very early tomorrow morning for a chili weekend in California, visiting with our good friends at the Woodbridge Winery.

Susan will appear on Good Day Sacramento, Channel 31, on Friday morning. They will stage a chili challenge with Christine Vestfals, the current California State champion. Saturday, we’ll compete in the California State cookoff.

Should be great fun. We’ll have all the details on Tuesday morning.
