Christina, my niece – and family – are fine. In Malibu, but west of the fire. The coast in Malibu runs east and west. Their church burned, and the castle. The castle was on television – seemed familiar, and was. It was one of the places the Dolphin Ball, an annual charity event for cystic fibrosis, was held. We’ve attended, not when at the castle, but still, that’s why it was familiar.
I have two nieces. The other one, Ann, was also near a fire, which was a surprise, since she lives in Philadelphia. Only a momentary surprise, because my brother had told me she was going to be in Diego for a conference at about this time. Oddly, the conference went ahead, started on Monday, over by Wednesday. On reflection, why not? San Diego isn’t entirely engulfed. Life, business – and conferences – go on.
It hadn’t immediately occurred to me that I had connections to the fires. Tenuous, it turns out, and thankfully so.
