For a three day weekend, Brad and I traveled to Catalina Island and visited CIMI (the place I lived and worked for 6 years). We had a wonderful time SCUBA diving, snorkeling, hiking, blue water hunting, visiting with friends, and meeting new people.

One morning my students at Albemarle School rushed in to tell me "CATALINA WAS ON FIRE!!!" Oh sure, I'm thinking to myself, it's probably just a little burn on the backside. "NO! CATALINA IS ON FIRE!" my students insisted. Still unconvinced, I looked online for a reputable news source. The headlines "CATALINA ON FIRE!" Quickly I look for the burn map wondering if CIMI was in danger. Wow, there was a big red square right over Toyon Bay! Still this weekend we found evidence of the fire, plus heard stories from staff who witnessed and fought the fire. Luckily no one was hurt nor were any buildings lost. Don't worry Dad, your tree is still on the top of the mountain. It can survive anything.
