A little cold

The pool was a little cold, but I took my first swim of the season yesterday.
I didn’t stay in long; only about 10 laps.

The only way to win is to not play

What’s a perfect way to spend a Saturday night?
Watching women hit each other very hard, on roller skates. Fresno’s Smog City Roller Grrls beat Santa Cruz 100 to 70. We saw one other game last summer. Loved it.

Visit

I’ve been so busy that I feel a lot of things have been falling to the wayside.
I wanted to mention an absolutely perfect visit from my brother.
My brother, who has previously expressed little interest in visiting the Golden State, came to visit for a few days.
