As I sit on the side of the highway, on a Friday night, waiting for a tow truck…
We have some fun plans for the weekend and I’m determined not to let this derail the good times ahead.
Stay safe out there and if you’re having a rough day/night/ week/whatever… keep your chin up and tell yourself things will only get better!
I am a very lucky man, married to a wonderful, gorgeous woman for over 30 years now. We still enjoy each other’s company, we still make each other laugh and we still have more in common than not, even after 3 decades.
But on this notoriously difficult “holiday” of Valentine’s Day, I know that most folks aren’t in the same boat as I. And for those without somebody special in their lives, or worse, if they’ve recently lost that someone special, today is especially difficult.
I just want to out it out there, to try to be just little more kind and compassionate towards those you encounter today. A friendly hello, a kind smile, those little things can go a long way for someone feeling the blues today.
And if you are fortunate enough to have someone special in your life, make sure you let them know. It doesn’t take money or a bunch of time, just tell that person how much you appreciate them being part of your life.
Helping someone have a better day isn’t difficult and we if all give it a try, we might just find ourselves in a better place.
Just some food for thought…

Anyone that’s known me for the last 15 years or so, knows that I am anxious to move out of California. The reasons to leave are legion, but having been born and raised here, it’s not that easy to say goodbye either.
There are still a few good things about California, and today I got to experience one of those good things that make me grateful to be where I am despite the many, many problems inherent in the Bay Area.
Lunch with the beautiful Mrs. in Half Moon Bay today. It’s a bit of a drive from home, just under an hour, but fresh seafood, on the deck overlooking the harbor, nothing but sunshine at a balmy 81 degrees…in February! Yeah, it doesn’t get much better than that!
Say what you will about how screwed up this place is, and I will likely agree and tell you even more things about it that are lousy, but days like today almost make the aggravation worth while.
Sometimes it really is the little things that make your day!
