Miscellaneous:
Kevin took advantage of the good weather and down day to travel out
westward to Colorado and New Mexico for a "short" road trip. Not much
going on that way, but drove up to the top of a pretty cool dormant
volcano (Calupin National Monument).  Derek arrives tomorrow to take
over until June 22.
