To my friends and family in Arizona –

I’ll be staying primarily with friends and I will be visiting friends, my niece and my uncle at various times (that’s what the trip to Sedona is for on Monday).  I’d like to see as many of you as I can when I’m there, even if you are not going to the Phurfest activities, which is what prompted me to take my first trip to Arizona.  My dad grew up there and I have family scattered all over the state.  I’m renting a car and arriving Phoenix on April 29 at 530pm.  My departure from Phoenix is May 3 at 8pm.  Please make sure I have your mobile numbers and that you have mine (917-330-6105).  I check texts much more than voicemail.
