It’s been a great year with so much to be thankful for. I figure Thanksgiving is a good a time as any to reflect on all the blessings we have. Happy and healthy. Still self-employed. Wonderful friends and family. Couldn’t ask for much more.

“Double Black Diamond” Bryn and I headed for the hills this weekend for three days of skiing at South Lake Tahoe with the fam. It was our first family vacation (where mom got to come– us boys have been on lots of ski trips — Montana, Utah, Chile) in 8 years.
The weather was beautiful the [...]
