Hiking with Baby Josephson in mind; not on our backs...yet

San Diego County 6am, Baby (boy) Josephson reaches the age of 13 hours

Looking towards the ocean from East County, soon after commencement

We remember 1978 when we worked with Viv Bartlett at Barclays Bank in Johannesburg. We were a little younger in those days and a lot less experienced in matters of the world. On the birth of Viv and Lori's child, they invited us to join the family to 'wet the baby's head'. The concept and phrase 'tickled' us—in fact, it still does.

Not the most elegant move you're likely to observe

Fast forward to 13 hours after the birth of Baby Josephson; we realize the wetting of his head concept is not one of our traditions. Besides, Natalie and Anthony would be most upset should we pour Diet Coke over the baby. We would,too—what a waste of a Coke. Instead, we headed towards Iron Mountain at 5:30am to offer thanks in general and burn off some excess energy. B'H.

Looking towards Mount Woodson (the mountain with the 'surfboard')

Cheers,

Jenni and Jeffrey
