ICL Spring Bus Tour – March 9–11, 2027
Get ready for another memorable ICL adventure this spring! From March 9–11, 2027, during Spring Break, we have secured one of the Road Scholar buses and our wonderful guide, Diana Hawks, for another exciting adventure. By popular request (we don’t want to say demand, but we could! LOL), we are heading back to Death Valley! This has been one of our most popular bus trips, and since we were able to schedule it during Spring Break, what better time to explore Death Valley? We’ll make several fun stops along the way, including Lost City Museum, Valley of Fire, Hoover Dam, Red Rock Canyon, Shoshone Village, and more! And there’s another special reason this is a perfect time to visit Death Valley!
Death Valley Bus Tour, January 2025.
The new moon is March 8, just one day before our trip begins, which means we should have wonderfully dark skies while we are there. Death Valley is famous for its incredible night skies, so keep your eyes on the stars — we may have a spectacular opportunity for some stargazing! Because this trip is earlier than most of our bus tours, pricing and registration information will be available in mid-October. We will send out a separate flyer with all the details, including pricing. So please, watch your email for details . Due to the overwhelming popularity of our bus tours, registration will once again be handled through our lottery process. Lottery registration opens Oct. 19 and closes Oct. 30th. Lottery winners will be picked on Nov. 2, with payment due Nov. 13. Warren's Wit by Dr. Warren Stucki - Immediate Past President of ICL Since we will no longer be blessed with his witty President's Messages, we have asked Warren to write a monthly column. Enjoy!
“Sir, now that you’ve lost the election, what do you plan to do with all that free time?” I’d heard that question a thousand times, so forgive me if I sound a little irritated.
“It’s Mr. President to you,” I snapped, “and for the record, I did not lose the election; it was rigged. Stolen! Rumored to be by someone wearing a dress.” I ground my teeth, then added, “And if you must know, I plan to spend some quality time with my wife.” True to my word, I teamed up with Linda’s shadow and followed her around the house for a week. Then, I stepped on her heel. “Ouch!” Dancing on one foot, she whirled around. “What are you doing?” “Spending quality time with you.” She stared at me for several seconds—the same way people stare at a mole they’re pretty sure wasn’t there yesterday. Then she screamed, “Get the #~%+ outta my house!”
Loosely translated and without the expletives, it means, “Get a job!” Yeah, I thought, she’s right. So, I posted this ad on KSL Classifieds:
A former, wrongly deposed President seeks employment. I speak one language, though not fluently. I have limited people skills, but I do know how to cook the books. I have all my hair, most of my teeth, some of my marbles and brand-new hearing aids. To my credit, I still have my prostate, though that’s becoming a bit of a problem as I require frequent bathroom breaks. References are available upon request, though most are dead. Zero! Nada! None! Not a nibble! I know you’re as shocked as I am, but I got no response, no takers, though I did get some pity mail and the name of a psychiatrist. Certainly not a quitter, I plan to try again—and soon. But now, I need to find a restroom.
