Heading Home

Well, yesterday was quite a day. We awoke to news that the San Diego fires were very close to home. Through the day our limited access to information provided quite a roller coaster. When we finally got internet access the signonsandiego web site showed the burn zone had rolled over the house. Kids and pets were OK. Then within minutes we recieved a call that mother, Barabar Pipp, passed away. We were busied with calls to loved ones and attempts to support others hit by the fire and to determine the fate of our own possessions. Long story short: we are ending our trip and heading back on the next flight out. We will be offering support to our family and others ravaged by the fires. Once settled we will post more here. As of now the house still stands, slightly singed. Once we are back we will start support for those less fortunate than us.
