Accepting the cold water of the Pacific and the coolness of the weather and loving it has been one of the startling transitions that I have made over the past couple of weeks.
Today I braved the 53 degree water and lasted less than one minute. I thought my heart would stop. The locals did not mind as you can see from the short video. Of course, Rennie has loved the frigid water from the first day on and cannot understand why I don't dive into the waves with abandon.

It has been kind of a down day for me as I found out that Marley our senior grand dog is not doing well. Marley was adopted by my daughter Hillary at 6 months and I think he would turn 15 later this year. He enjoyed a wonderful life with Hillary and Chris her husband.
Marley was a well heeled traveller visiting places like the Grand Canyon, where he dug in his heels about 5 feet from the rim and refused to take another step. He was smuggled into a motel in Las Vegas, walked Rt 66 (actually relieved himself at the side of the road), knew something was not right at Death Valley, but above everything else loved the outdoors in Lake Tahoe, including swimming in the clear water with Hillary. What a great dog and loyal companion!
