Long overdue for an east coast trip

During the Winter and Spring 1975 quarters, my dad worked in Washington, DC. We lived in what a neighbor called a "gulag" apartment building. I was still 2 then, and my earliest recollections are actually of DC/VA, not my native San Francisco. Early '75, snow was on the ground, and for the first time, highs were going to hit the 50s. I lay on my back in the snow, looked up at the sun, and, man, that was the hottest 50 degrees I've ever experienced!

The employer asked my dad to stay and continue working, but my mom was pregnant. So, at the end of the Spring '75 quarter, we moved back to SF. In July, my only sibling, a brother was born.

In late-winter/early-spring 1980, we returned to the east coast, hitting not just DC/VA, but Philadelphia, Buffalo, and Toronto. Carter was President, and John Lennon was still alive. We stayed at a family friend's house in Arlington. And I thought that Billy Joel's imagery in his then-new "All For Leyna" was hilarious.

And that was the last time I've ever been east of Vegas or Phoenix! A couple years ago, my present family planned to go to DC for Spring Break, but with the possibility of government shutdowns, we canceled.

My brother went to UC Davis, which is just west of Sacramento. In fact, he now lives just south of Sacramento. His in-laws are from there. They have been joined by waves of former Bay Area residents, who were priced out of real estate as expensive as NYC's.

There's just something really fun, about the CAL Delta. The Delta allows us to play around with powercords, digital cables, and even fuses. And if you lose the remote, you can still find some on the used market, or get the codes, and program them.

Since the March 2020 SIP orders, I've only done drive-bys, with other audiophiles, mostly to exchange cables. When the pandemic is over, an east coast trip is high on my to-do list.
