Seven trash bins later and I finally have an excavated pathway. However, due to a couple of close calls with heat stroke, I’ll be waiting until the temps are back in two digit territory before I resume work. See ya in October.

Going to lay down a front walkway, so added sprinkler plumbing to my resume.

I should probably reread for the story, but the writing is excellent.

Always enjoyable.

Went to the club after dinner and then straight to the airport after closing it down the next morning. Haven’t been to bed since Tuesday.

Happy Birthday, Summer!

One of our vendors installed a secret bar behind his booth. Luckily, we know the bartender.

Three more nights to go. Feels like I’ve already been here forever.

How she fits all of this with the rest of her things into one carry-on bag continues to mystify me.

Happy Birthday, Jim!

#20: Read 30 Books. Not for me.

#44 & #93 Done

#44: See a Giants Game

#93: See a Cubs Game

Two birds with one stone. But more importantly, we saw my childhood idol’s number retired among the ten other Giant greats.

Happy Birthday, Georgeanne!

Still celebrating Sonia’s birthday.

Happy birthday, Bro!

Bringing competitors together is no easy feat in the Korean dominated fashion industry… But my wife is a rare bird.

Read this mostly to see how the author wrote about the hotel as my novel-in-progress revolves around one as well.

Enjoyed a meal with my good friend, Dyz, visiting from Chicago with his wife and son. We haven’t changed a bit.

Took two months to get to this point, but I need to know I can grow my own food before I buy land.

A little gimmicky for me.

Three novellas. Nothing to complain about, but ultimately forgettable.

Enjoyed.

Weekend in Palm Springs because L.A. isn’t hot enough.

#89: Purge at least 6 hefty bags

Threw away at least three hefty bags of my childhood.

An unexpected show after dinner. Not sure the millennials are going to make this world a better place.

#84 Done

#84: Backyard Movie Premiere. Installed a retractable movie screen, so now it’s movies in the jacuzzi.

#94 Done

#94: See a movie in a theater

First movie in a theater since March of 2020. Didn’t disappoint.

George and Summer’s ENGAGEMENT party

Another record for me.
