"Equal and Opposite Reactions is a rollicking good yarn about complex relationships and emotions in middle-class American culture. The author has created an incredibly funny romantic comedy, which transcends the ubiquitous romantic triangle and expands it into a quadrangle, complicated by the interweaving of relationships between the children of the principal characters.  Cleverly plotted, twists and turns, and exceptionally well written, this part drama and part slapstick comedy is a tour-de-force. Bravo Patti."
- R. Bruce Logan, "The Narrative Arc"

Good-Bye Phoenix, Hello Columbus

...Continued from previous post:   
    It was mid-afternoon when our caravan reached Phoenix. 
Maria, Justin, and the girls caught their flight back to Los Angeles, while Tommy and Emily, hankering a hike,  loaded up on  water, defied Arizona convention and took a two-hour afternoon trek up Camelback Mountain.
Picture
...where the breath-taking views proved to be worth the effort.

​      Meanwhile Callie, Theresa, Tom and I checked into our hotel, the Hilton near the  Phoenix airport.

      We'd made a date to meet up with Emily and Tommy when they got back from their hike at Hula's Modern Tiki, a restaurant Tommy and Emily found in nearby Scottsdale.
     So at the appointed time we drove to Scottsdale, where we were treated to some
sci-fiesque rock formations along the way,
Picture
​...to Hula's Modern Tiki,
Picture
Picture
​...where Emily and Tommy arrived, sweaty and craving ice water, but none the worse for wear after their hot climb up  Camelback.
Picture
   The food at Hula's was great.  Tom had salmon,
Picture
...Theresa had Thai chicken,
Picture
...the others had burgers with plantains,
Picture
​...or sweet potato fries,
Picture
...or fries,
Picture
...and I had the fish tacos with a side of rice in some kind of sauce, which was awesome.
Picture
    As the restaurant was on a cute street full of shops, after dinner we took a stroll.

Picture
​      Then we drove back to our hotel.
Picture
Picture
Picture
     The following morning we were in the Phoenix airport,
Picture
​...and a few hours later we were back in "One of Us" Columbus,
Picture
...where we rounded off the the day with dinner at the Gahanna Old Bag of Nails,

    It's lovely to travel, and then it's nice to return home.
