Back to work after three excellent days in southern California. That first day back after trips are always the hardest — especially after arriving home at midnight (in bed closer to 1:30) and having an 8:30 am meeting. The morning was a bit rough trying to figure out what I missed on the day off. [...]
Read moreFog is cold. And damp. And 3 am EDT is really, really, really early in the morning, especially when coming from PDT time. Get up and run at midnight? Sounds like good practice for the ET Half in Rachael, NV over the summer! The Three Caballeros Family Fiesta 5K started bright and early on Jan. [...]

It’s that time of year for persimmons. Right now I have approximately 20 pounds of them in my kitchen thanks to Jeff.
