I have the week off – well a working vacation from home – as my client’s folks are off to a retreat up near Lake Tahoe.
I am fixing the remaining problems with the BMW, walking five miles a day, and enjoying the near perfect weather here in Santa Cruz. I keep thinking I never should have left California, but the path to get me back here clearly required it.
