judy My stepmom is in town this week; "Evil", we like to call her. She's actually wonderful and I love her to pieces. Her sister lives not too far from me, and Evil likes to come out about once a month during the fall/winter/spring, when the weather is much nicer here than in New Jersey.

I hadn't seen her in quite awhile, so we've been trying to spend as much time as possible while she's here. Yesterday we went to Sabino Canyon and took the last tram up to the top of the 3.8 mile road and hiked down. It was absolutely perfect weather; warm and breezy, and cooling off nicely as the sun went down. Right as we were getting back to the parking lot, the sun was slipping down behind the horizon. Fantastic timing, really. On the way back to dropping her off at her sister's we had some delicious sushi grub, and I have to say it was a pretty great afternoon.
