Sundance Guerneville getaway begins, day 1 of 3. Breakfast at home: pistachio-cherry granola with sliced bananas and blueberries with milk, hot water to drink. At 10 a.m. Patrick picked up a rental car. Lunch at home with Patrick: leftovers from last night. Just before noon we drove to JY and Adrian's Sundance in Guerneville for the weekend. After arriving we unpacked to the first floor bedroom then enjoyed flavored sparkling water and Chobani yogurt with fruit and in the process met Steven D and Hyun K who were finishing lunch. Calvin G and Jeremy W arrived with dog Jasper and we said hello. Lounged and chatted poolside. Rob A finished working and joined us at the pool. Later local friends Bill and John and dog Theo arrived as we moved to the outdoor living room to continue chatting. Adrian and Hyun prepared dinner: greek salad, cedar-plank-grilled salmon, roasted potatoes with lemon sauce, green beans. Dessert: diced peaches with vanilla ice cream. Afterwards, in the living room we played The Hygge Game: What is the biggest difference between your parents? Would you want to know in advance how and when you're going to die? What's better: love or money? Is there anything that should never be joked about? Do you still print out the pictures you take and frame them or put them in albums?
