Well, the Camerons, old friends of my parents from Test Pilot School, visited us this Sunday & Monday, on their way to taking their son Rob to the Naval Academy, which was fun. What isn't fun is that we found out this weekend that Bob Ho, who was my Dad's mechanic for motorcycle racing stuff for ages, is dying. He'd had leukemia before, and just found out that it had come back, and decided not to do chemo this time (apparently it wouldn't have done much good). He built engines for Harley-Davidson back in the sixties, and probably knows more about old Harley engines than anyone else alive. He's the one who gave me my orange & black Harley-Davidson factory shirt.
