Mike summed it up well

Wendy, Mike, Bryn and Dinah are home safely in Portland, Maine.   Mike summed up the "Mother and Child Reunion" story very well:

"I find that I'm not often surprised any more, one of the casualties of falling well into the AARP category I suppose.  But events in San Diego certainly caught me off guard in a most wonderful way.  I continue to look back on the last week and a half, shaking my head with both disbelief and gladness.  Glad that March 11 was a good day for walking Bryn and Dinah.  Glad we chose to do that walking in Balboa Park.  Glad for a missing zero.  Glad that Dawn decided to be the unwitting intermediary she became.  Glad you let your curiosity get the better of you when you had lots of work to do.  Glad for these things and so many more, and surprised by them all as well."
