Clue themed party in the Hollywood Hills.

#100 Done

#100: Move my photos to the cloud Took awhile, but I finally did it. Now they will last as long as the icloud storage is paid, so probably no longer than the originals will have lasted. Dust in the wind.

Took some clients from Louisiana to the new restaurant, Avra in Beverly Hills. P. Diddy came to our table and introduced himself which I think solidified our relationship with our clients for a long time. Thanks, Puffy.

The dogs hate nothing more than when random cats show up at the front door.

Took an Alabama client out to dinner and we ran into a vendor and our UPS driver to prove LA is a small town.

Exploring Highland Park. The next hotspot.

By Sam Dykstra / MiLB.com | August 15, 2018 10:30 AM Nineteen days are all that remain on the full-season Minor League calendar. Last Friday, Toolshed blended some individual accomplishments with team goals to look at which prospects could have a major impact on playoff races across the Minors.
