Hunter Liggett Military Reservation, California, November 19, 2014—
We're on our way south to see some theater and visit friends and restaurants, and thought we'd break the trip in a place new to us. In every respect but one it's truly a fine place: a Mission-style "hacienda" designed by Julia Morgan for William Randolph Hearst, funky but grand, in a beautiful, tranquil landscape a mile from a favorite (real) mission, San Antonio de Padua. There's even a pleasant if barnlike bar. If only there were a restaurant!
Oh well. We settled for the bowling alley, as there was no choice. Lindsey had a hot dog with sauerkraut, which she pronounced okay, "not one of those skinny unpleasant little hot dogs." I had this seven-inch pizza, with fresh tomatoes and decent sausage and, of course, too much cheese.

You are certainly the most restless character I've seen in many a day.
How you maintain your equilibrium at this breakneck pace is anyone's guess.
Is it the release of some decades-long confinement, or merely the frantic denouement to a career of intense curiosity?
The latter, but I'm dubious about "merely ".
